Celsius Drop is an exploration of the vast Future Roots music spectrum hosted by dublab co-founder Frosty. Tune-in to reach those outer realms.

For this episode of Celsius Drop, Frosty welcomes very special guest David Rosenboom onto the show.

Rosenboom is a post-genre composer-performer-author whose work since the 1960s has traversed multifaceted musical performance, spontaneously evolving forms in composition, cross-cultural collaborations, interactive multimedia, new instrument technologies, performance art, improvisation, art-science research and philosophy, and brain art.

He regularly presents in international venues and has had major retrospectives at the Whitney Museum of American Art, Centre Pompidou-Metz, Tokyo Opera City, and other places. He continues to be widely published and recorded and is working on his forthcoming book, Propositional Music. During his long career he has held important positions at SUNY Buffalo, Electric Circus (New York), York University (Toronto), Mills College (Oakland), CalArts (Los Angeles), and others. He is a Yamaha Artist. During his fifty-year retrospective at the Whitney in 2015, the New York Times referred to him as an “avatar of experimental music.”
