saom?
• Recurring live event for experiments in sound. Rolling open call, short sets, no headliners.
• Sound art, experimental music, performance? If you feel like what you do fits, you are welcome.
• It’s about making space to share ideas in a great venue with an open minded audience.
• There is no barrier to entry and we actively save slots for under-represented groups.

+ Aside from our regular night we occasionally organise or take part in special events, collaborating with the likes of:
Avalon Cafe, Spanners, FIELDNOTES, Resonance FM, Influx Assembly, Cafe Oto, XYZ, Murailles Music, Footlight Presents, Phase Zero, The Windjammer (Ridgewood NY).
saom is volunteer run so buying tickets and merch goes directly towards keeping our event alive. In liue of performer fees we record and mix all live sets and connect performers to a wider sound-making community. If you’d like to get involved we’re really appreciative of help on the door, photography, promo etc.
Spread the word. See you there :]
Love,
Hannah / Ariella / Rob
