The TANK Center for Sonic Arts is a world class reverberant space in Rangely, Colorado. www.tanksounds.org

To experience The TANK is visceral; each person who stands inside finds herself at the center of a world made up of sound. It is transformational.

The TANK, a 60-foot-tall, 30-foot-across, rusted and abandoned steel water tank, was discovered in Rangely, Colorado by sound artist and sonic thinker Bruce Odland in 1976. An acoustical marvel, with a forty-seconds-long, shifting, swirling reverberation, The TANK became a favorite unofficial, off-the-grid recording venue for Colorado musicians for nearly four decades.   

In 2012, the TANK was facing an uncertain future. Friends of The TANK — an eclectic group of artists, sonic explorers, and practical minds, all bound together by the experience of The TANK — was formed to save the sonic treasure from demolition. With contributions from more than a thousand Kickstarter backers over two campaigns, and the remarkable and ever-growing support of the people, businesses, and governments of the town of Rangely and Rio Blanco County, The TANK was purchased, restored, and repurposed, and is now home to The TANK Center for Sonic Arts

Now in its second season, The TANK Center for Sonic Arts seeks to share The TANK through artistic development, sonic research, education, and community outreach; to preserve, protect, and share The TANK; and to offer a unique and transformative audio laboratory for musicians, sound artists, educators, sonic tourists, and the community in a magnificent acoustic resource.
