Music Stage 1 , Saturday 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM


Microfiche is an instrumental four-piece from San Francisco who draw diagrams for your ears and mind. If you were to use the pinnacle of nineteenth-century signal processing technology to transpose the sounds of hope, despair, patterns, the lack of patterns, fear of mechanical men, and whale calls, you would almost have the sound of Microfiche. They have been playing together since the beginning of 2007, and are currently unsigned.

Microfiche have an old microfiche reader - turned light-sensitive MIDI instrument and an interactive LED Graphic EQ backdrop to accompany and augment their sound.
