Soundwave>Series is Project>Soundwave’s biennial event series recently named Best Sound Sculptures – Future Classic by San Francisco Magazine’s BEST of 2007 issue. Each season investigates a new idea in sound and invites diverse multidisciplinary artists and musicians to explore the season’s theme in new and innovative directions. It challenges and inspires artists and audiences to look deeper into the sound medium and discover new connections to sound making and experience. The Soundwave>Series has completed two successful seasons, Season 2’s SURROUND>SOUND and Season 1’s FREE>SOUND, and is currently developing Season 3’s MOVE>SOUND. Project>Soundwave, launched in 2004, explores the boundaries of how we see sound, language and music. It is a project dedicated to explore innovative sound work and present intriguing artists in sound and music through the production of CDs, exhibitions and live events. Its mission is to explore the creation of sound; attempt to understand and shape the aural landscapes in everyday life; and find innovative ways to engage the listener using sound as language, music, environment or a vehicle for human connection and interaction. "The Soundwave Series has sought to make irrelevant the typical distinctions between artist, musician, audience, stage, and venue... idiosyncratic performances that are challenging, charming, magical, assaultive, and (as is always the case with really sweet sound art) deeply personal for everyone present." –SF Weekly "It's an artisitic and exploratory experience for your senses that will open your eyes and your mind." – Nitevibe "The result is a breathtaking assortment of experimental sounds, noises and rhythms… that approach sound from a uniquely artistic perspective...testing the limits of sound's raw emotional capability." -– SF Examiner
