September 22-27, 2009 - Washington, DC

The Sonic Circuits Festival of Experimental Music was initiated by the American Composers Forum (ACF) to provide DC's music and art communities with the opportunity to sample experimental and avant-garde electronic music, with an emphasis on improvisation and artistic use of new technologies.

Now heading into its ninth year, the Washington DC chapter of the ACF has expanded the scope of the festival to include electro-acoustic compositions, free jazz, noise rock, electronic drone and experimental folk, as well as live video and film programs, presented year round.

Sonic Circuits seeks to foster the spirit of collaboration through the diversity of participating artists, and its varied programming appeals to arts enthusiasts of all types.

Second Land
Second Land is a collaboration of artists who create improvisational music, using traditional instruments and domestic objects. A live performance by Second Land is generally lighthearted and unabrasive, and at times very layered and impassioned. The group seeks to continue the tradition of experimentation started by luminaries Cage & Stockhausen, but also the likes of Merideth Monk, Steve Riech and Robin Rimbaud. The name “Second Land” implies that work this group undertakes is new territory for the members of the group. Those members include Curt Seiss, Dani Seiss and Luke Hazzard. For the January 25th performance, Second Land will also include guest performers Dylan Kinnett (of Baltimore’s Infinity’s Kitchen) and Lars Wigren (of Polyphasic).

Cannot Be Stopped
CANNOT BE STOPPED is an experimental approach to drum set performance that comfortably rides the line between basement rock n’ roll and the avant-garde. The project’s sole member, Farley Miller, takes audiences on a primal journey to the 8-bit and leaves them asking “what just happened?”
