Queens Tape Music Festival / World of Tomorrow

The Queens Tape Music Festival / World of Tomorrow is taking place at an arts and community event space in Astoria, Queens, NY. We will be presenting 9 X 45 minute concerts of fixed media pieces in stereo and quadraphonic sound. There will also be an Introduction to Soundscape Workshop, designed for those who have no prior knowledge or experience of the genre and are interested in a brief introduction.
