The State Theater Concert

Featuring the CSU Stanislaus Scratch Band:

Setting

On March 24, 2007, the very first real-world Loose Filter Project concert event was presented at the State Theater in Modesto, California. 

Featuring composer and DJ Mason Bates and bassist David Arend, the Scratch Band Concert mixed acoustic and electronic music in a social environment where audience members could also enjoy food and drink.   It was a smashing success.  Here is a copy of the program.

Here is a video with many highlights from the concert:
