Information About

San Francisco Tape Music Center




The SFTMC had begun as an electronic studio established by the improvisation group Sonics at the San Francisco Conservatory . Sonics was formed in 1961 by Oliveros and other members of one of Robert Erickson 's composition seminars. (Von Gunden 1983, p.33)

In 1967 the group accepted a $15,000 grant to join the Mills Center For Contemporary Music , with Oliveros as director, though the last of the original composers left the group that year. When Robert Ashley became the director in 1969 no equipment was left.
