The San Francisco Tape Music Center, or SFTMC, was founded in the summer of 1962[1] by composers Ramon Sender and Morton Subotnick as a collaborative, "non profit corporation developed and maintained" by local composers working with tape recorders and other novel compositional technologies, which functioned both as an electronic music studio and concert venue.[2] Composer Pauline Oliveros,[3] artist Tony Martin and technician William Maginnis eventually joined the SFTMC.
