Audium

Audium is the only theater of its kind in the world, pioneering the exploration of space in music.

The theater's 176 speakers bathe listeners in sounds that move past, over, and under them. "Sound sculptures" are performed in darkness in the 49-seat theater.

⏪ REWIND TO 1969. 🔊

What did Audium sound like more than five decades ago?

Step inside AUDIUM V: REWIND / REPLAY a journey through one of Audium’s earliest compositions, originally created on tape by Stan Shaff in 1969.

Find yourself inside an old muscle car. ✈️ Feel a Pan-Am flight move through the room. 🌁 Sink into a swirling landscape of foghorns.

Now reworked for Audium’s current 176-speaker theater by David Shaff, the piece brings the past into the present while preserving the immersive spirit that has defined Audium from the beginning.

Come experience AUDIUM V: REWIND / REPLAY and hear where it all began.

What if the next great sound artist just hasn’t been given the chance yet? 🎧

Talent is everywhere.

Access isn’t.

dakim Dakim Saadiq shares how Audium’s Spatial Sound in Schools program introduces young people to immersive sound, creative technology, and an entirely new way of listening to the world around them.

Spatial Sound In Schools gives Bay Area public high school students the opportunity to experience sound as something they can shape, move, design, and create.

That experience can change what a young person believes is possible for their future.

And right now, every donation goes twice as far.

$25 → $50
$50 → $100
$100 → $200

Help us put possibility within reach by donating to further Spatial Sound in Schools.

Send this to someone who believes young people deserve access to the arts.

✨ Congratulations to golden lionheart collier diasporan savant press on an incredible opening weekend of Hidden Currents at Audium! 🔊🔊🔊

There are now just 3 weekends left to enter golden’s immersive sonic world — a space to listen deeply, feel sound in your body, and imagine alongside others.

Beyond the sound work itself, every element of Hidden Currents carries golden’s multidisciplinary practice. golden is the founder of Diasporan Savant Press, and the immersive works installed throughout Audium — along with the program flyers, posters, and printed materials surrounding the show — were all created with love by golden.

Visitors can also take a piece of that world home. Zines, prints, patches, posters, stickers, and more from Diasporan Savant Press are available for purchase at Hidden Currents.
