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

Metabolic Sonics specializes in exploring the captivating sound waves and vibrations of the web of life. They are part of Metabolic Studio, an interdisciplinary art and research hub based in Los Angeles, California directed by artist Lauren Bon. The studio addresses critical social and environmental issues through art interventions and innovative projects aimed at reparation.

These are recordings of an 80’ tall silo strung with cables to make a massive aeolian harp, located 300 miles north of Los Angeles and Metabolic Studio. It was created in March 2013 and has amplified the sonic river flowing between Yaagna (or the LA Basin) and Payahuunadu (or Owens Valley) since then. This includes a voiceover reading of some of Lauren Bon’s writing about Bending the River.

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