Friends of the Tank - An Acoustic Wonder!

THE TANK is an acoustical marvel, a senses-altering experience found nowhere else on earth. A 60' tall, 30' across rusted steel water tank - never used - was discovered in Colorado by sound artist and sonic thinker ​Bruce Odland in 1976. A small group of musicians has been recording there ever since.





THE TANK is a sonic wonder of the world, with a shifting, swirling reverberation longer and richer than the Taj Majal or the Great Pyramid. Sitting unnoticed in the dirt hills outside Rangely, Colorado — surrounded by oil pumps and dirt bike trails — the profound acoustic beauty within is balanced by the austerity of its remote location and its simple industrial architecture.


But, now, THE TANK is in danger of the unthinkable ... becoming silent. No more music. No more sound. No more recording, teaching, collaborating, creativity. Rusting and decaying in the elements; left to dust, weather, vandalism, land speculation, and encroachment from the gas/oil boom ... this is the future for THE TANK.

THE TANK has changed the ears and hearts of everyone who has ever played there or listened to this cathedral of sound. It retunes our music and wakes up our ears to new potential. Sound comes from a mouth or an instrument and soars around the space, expanding its dimensionality, growing and moving and living and shifting until a single tone becomes a whole world of sound. One would be hard pressed to discover a space with greater potential for creative depth or exploration. Enter and THE TANK will totally alter what you think sound and music are.
