The 2015 Sonic Circuits Festival of Experimental Music, the DC area’s fourteenth annual weekend-long program of experimental music and multimedia works, was held at the Pyramid Atlantic Art Center in Silver Spring, MD, the place that Sonic Circuits has called home for the past several years. Barring some unforeseen twist of events, this will be the last festival to be held at Pyramid’s Silver Spring building, which is scheduled to be vacated when Pyramid moves to a new building in Hyattsville, MD at the end of this year. No matter; the festival always does seem somehow to land on its feet.
As curated by organizer Jeff Surak, the lineup, as in previous years, was a well-balanced mix of local, national, and international artists. While electronics—sometimes quite heavy electronics–were central to a good number of sets, acoustic instruments—and moments of delicate interplay—made an appearance as well.
