# Event Details - **Event Name**: Sanctuary Concerts at UUP Presents Fred Frith and Shelley Roden: "The Fringes of Consciousness" - **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 12 Apr, 2026 at 02:00 pm (-07:00) - **Event Description**: A very special opportunity to hear the development of a musical soundscape, as master experimental guitar wizard Fred Frith is joined by Foley artist Shelley Roden for an open rehearsal in the acoustical jewel that is the sanctuary of the Unitarian Universalists of Petaluma. Sliding scale donation $10-$20 or more--for the benefit of the Sanctuary Coalition of Sonoma County, working to protect our community from abduction, detention, and deportation. Fred Frith is a pioneer of the extended electric guitar. He learned to compose in Henry Cow, developed his song-writing skills in Art Bears, explored his multi-instrumentalism in Skeleton Crew, rocked the house with Massacre and is still doing all of those things, having been in one band or another continuously since 1964! Meanwhile his work has been performed by string quartets, orchestras, big bands and a whole range of groups and artists in the ever-expanding field of semi-popular music. Fred is also an award-winning film composer whose credits include the acclaimed documentaries Rivers and Tides, Touch the Sound, and Tracing Light directed by Thomas Riedelsheimer, The Tango Lesson, Yes and The Party by Sally Potter, Werner Penzel’s Zen for Nothing, Peter Mettler’s Gods, Gambling and LSD, and the award-winning (and Oscar-nominated) Last Day of Freedom, by Nomi Talisman and Dee Hibbert-Jones. He is the subject of Nicolas Humbert and Werner Penzel’s much loved Step Across the Border, cited by Cahiers du Cinéma as one of the 20th century’s hundred most influential films. Long fascinated by the unique and strangely eccentric world of the Foley artist, Fred is greatly looking forward to exploring the world of sound from a completely different angle! Shelley Roden is an award-winning Foley Artist working at Skywalker Sound in Northern CA. She has created and performed foley sound effects for hundreds of live-action films, animated films, and television series. Her recent projects include the Warner Bros. Pictures' “F1: The Movie”, and the Tony Gilroy TV series “Andor”. The art of foley is a formal process where the foley artist manipulates found objects to create sound effects and perform in sync to picture while a foley mixer simultaneously uses digital and analogue tools to shape and record the performance. This process involves collaborating with a team to improvise, experiment, and discover new ideas. Shelley thinks of foley sound effects as carefully orchestrated and nuanced musical notes that accompany a visual. She is thrilled to have the opportunity to improvise live with Fred to expand her musical vocabulary. Her palette will include tools she uses to create foley sound effects as well as instruments designed by friends and inherited from family members. Without images to guide her choices, Shelley will rely on her ears and impulses to create with Fred a sonic tapestry to connect with and move the live audience. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/petaluma/sanctuary-concerts-at-uup-presents-fred-frith-and-shelley-roden-the-fringes-of-consciousness/200029615434020 - **Event Categories**: entertainment, music, art, concerts, live-music, nonprofit, parties - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 48 ## Ticket Details ## Event venue details - **city**: Petaluma - **state**: CA - **country**: United States - **location**: 16 5th St., Petaluma, CA - **lat**: 38.23164 - **long**: -122.6406 - **full address**: 16 5th St., Petaluma, CA, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Sanctuary Concerts at UUP Presents Fred Frith and Shelley Roden: "The Fringes of Consciousness" - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/4681ae6592cfda16c6d12114b3f641c93dff554633075892be960a30f1680a85-rimg-w1200-h900-dcbeb8ac-gmir?v=1775200674 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Sanctuary Concerts at UUP Presents Fred Frith and Shelley Roden: "The Fringes of Consciousness" being held? - **A:** Sanctuary Concerts at UUP Presents Fred Frith and Shelley Roden: "The Fringes of Consciousness" takes place on Sun, 12 Apr, 2026 at 02:00 pm to Sun, 12 Apr, 2026 at 02:00 pm at 16 5th St., Petaluma, CA, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Sanctuary Concerts at UUP Presents Fred Frith and Shelley Roden: "The Fringes of Consciousness" ? - **A:** Sanctuary Concerts at UUP Presents Fred Frith and Shelley Roden: "The Fringes of Consciousness" is organized by Unitarian Universalists Of Petaluma. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
