I had a chance of visiting the Audium a few days ago. Stan is fine, althhough I doubt he is in his eighties. What an experience! Stan performs his own tape music and takes care of the distribution manually, via a custom made sound board. The flair of the place is truly unique. There are no records of the music and no tours either, one can only experience it there, in the actual space since about 30 years, and a visit is really worth it!
