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

Each week we will bring field recordings of Metabolic’s current project Bending the River, and archival material from past ventures. Bending the River is an adaptive reuse of the LA River infrastructure that reimagines the relationship between Los Angeles and the river that brought it into existence. This is Metabolic Studio’s third expedition into the river- opening up the concrete jacket of the river, creating the intake structure, placing the terra cotta pipes, and shoring up the 200’ horizontal borehole that will carry water to the well for distribution to the surrounding community.

This music is from the Metabolic Sonic’s archives – selections from a jam that took place on March 18, 2019.
