Voyage with dublab and Metabolic into new worlds. Each week we present a long-form field recording that will transport you through the power of sound.

Today we feature archival excerpts of Lauren Bon’s Not A Cornfield project which activated an abandoned rail yard in Downtown Los Angeles, transforming it into a thirty-two-acre cornfield for one agricultural cycle in 2005–06. You’ll hear combines preparing the soil, interviews with people tending the land, and some of the live music that was played in the cornfield by various groups, reflecting the many cultures that are part of the history of the land that became the Los Angeles State Historic Park.

Tune-in, open up, and venture out there as we take excursions into evocative audio fields together.
