Mayor Fenty Endorses Sonic Circuits

Personally, I like to think he’s more of an AMM guy than a Whitehouse fan.

As Mayor of the District of Columbia I am pleased to welcome the Sonic Circuits Festival of Experimental Music to our nation’s capitol.

The Sonic Circuits Festival of Experimental Music, initiated by the American Composers Forum, enriches the Greater Washington, DC music and art communities with the opportunity to sample experimental and avant-garde electronic music, with an emphasis on improvisation and artistic use of new technologies. The Washington, DC chapter of the American Composers Forum has now expanded the scope of Sonic Circuits to include electro-acoustic compositions, free jazz, modern classical, noise rock, electronic drone and experimental folk, as well as live video and film programs, presented year round.

On behalf of the residents of the District of Columbia, you have my best wishes for a productive and enjoyable event.

Adrian M. Fenty
Mayor, District of Columbia
