Doors for the Late show (please be quiet if you are arriving early!) will be at 10pm.
MUSIC BEGINS at 8 and 10 (ish). Please come before the music begins so we don’t have to seat people in the dark!

DIFFUSION is our festival concerned with multi-channel electro acoustic music, both brand new and historical.
Some of these sound pieces are made with just microphones, some of them are made with only electronic instruments, much of it is made with a combination of both. Some of them are played on 4 speakers, some on 6 speakers and some on 8 speakers!
Listening, in this medium is different from “normal” music, I like to think of it as the difference, on a hot day, between standing in front of an air conditioner, and going swimming in a cool lake.
Seats are taken, the lights are dimmed, and the sound commences, there is nothing to see, everything is “seen” with the ears. This music is for everyone…no prior knowledge or education is necessary.
Please join us for some or all of these nights!
