Calling all San Francisco audiophiles! Join us August 3rd for the first rendition of the Gray Area/Eyebeam Sound Research Meetup. Come share your experience, ask questions, and learn about what other sound researchers in the Bay Area area are working on.

This will be a joint presentation of Eyebeam and Gray Area showcasing current works and research from the Eyebeam Sound Research Group and San Francisco-based sound artists/theorists/hackers/etc…Our goal is to present current work in a collaborative manner through a process-oriented, wide-spectrum meeting. Both Eyebeam and Gray Area share many interest areas of art, technology, sound and working ethos.
