"I don't see the point in art that doesn't take any risks. Fortunately, Cold Blue does that for us, and does it all the time." - Harold Budd

"Cold Blue Music Š home to many a musical treasure." - Late Junction, BBC3 Radio

Mapping sound., the SASSAS 10th Anniversary Concert, utilizes sites in eight Los Angeles neighborhoods located along an east/west corridor and features more than 50 musicians drawn from the 10 year history of sound. for a day of concerts, presented free of charge.

Initiated in 1999 at Sacred Grounds in San Pedro by Los Angeles based artist Cindy Bernard, sound. was founded with three premises: provide audiences with a comfortable space for focused listening; facilitate new relationships between musicians through organizing unusual improvisations; and guarantee musicians compensation for their labor. Full schedule here.

Since 2002, sound. has been presented by The Society for the Activation of Social Space through Art and Sound (SASSAS), a 501(c)3 non profit founded by Bernard in conjunction with Michael Mehring, Anita Pace and Howard Sacks, dedicated to the presentation of experimental art and sound practices in the greater Los Angeles area. In recent years, the Board of Directors has expanded to ten members working together to produce programming that now includes an online archive of the concert series, workshops and soundShoppe, a free monthly jam session for local musicians in addition to sound.

Mapping sound. is produced by Cindy Bernard, in collaboration with Clay Chaplin, Jeremy Drake, Tom Leeser, Gregory Lenczycki, Jorge Martin, Renee Petropoulos, Joe Potts, Ron Russell, Gabie Strong, Tom Watson, Board of Directors; Danny Gromfin, Board of Advisors.
