Description
The first annual Good Sound Festival took place at the Life on the Water Theater in San Francisco from August 21 - 31, 1992. Utilizing the latest technology for sound reproduction, enhancement, and manipulation, the event promised to be a milestone in the history of late 20th Century music. In this program Charles Amirkhanian interviews Loren Rush and Janis Mattox, the event’s artistic directors, and founders of the Good Sound Foundation an organization dedicated to quality live sound for electro-acoustic performances. Charles also plays much of the music that was to be premiered at this landmark concert. Also heard is a obituary for composer and jazz historian William Russell. (from KPFA Folio)Genres
