Gray Area Festival: Music Event Preview
For the past seven years,
Gray Area has been working to foster and develop relationships between the arts, technology, and music communities in San Francisco by hosting seminars, workshops, and outreach initiatives. They've also hosted some killer events, culminating in this weekend's
Gray Area Festival, their largest yet, featuring a slew of panels, keynotes, and discussions with arts and tech luminaries. They're also hosting live performances by artists across the electronic music spectrum: On Friday, dark ambient pioneer
Lustmord joins forces with analog synth wizard
Alessandro Cortini for an evening of enveloping, psychedelic atmospheres; and on Saturday, American beatmakers
Shigeto and
Teebs will kick the tempo up and bring the grooves out. Both nights feature collaborations with visual artists, so expect full-scale audio-visual experiences the whole weekend. All of it goes down at Gray Area's newly renovated space in the Mission, the Grand Theater, which is a sight to be seen unto itself.
