LAX presents Colloboh, in association with dublab.

Colloboh (a portmanteau of Collins Oboh) is a Nigerian-born, Los Angeles-based experimental producer and composer who has spent the past several years cultivating genre-spanning modular wizardry. A self-taught synthesist, Colloboh’s DIY recording diaries (still archived on Instagram) quickly amassed a dedicated online following, eventually catching the eye of Leaving Records founder, MatthewDavid, who wasted no time tapping the then-twenty-six-year-old to perform at the monthly Leaving showcase, Listen to Music Outside In The Daylight Under a Tree. In 2021, Colloboh permanently relocated to Los Angeles from Baltimore, dedicating himself to music full-time, and quickly becoming a fixture of the city’s vibrant experimental scene. Whereas Colloboh’s debut EP Entity Relation (released that same year) dove headlong into club beats, Saana Sahel, released May 5th 2023 on Leaving Records, showcases the breadth of the fledgeling composer’s ambitions.

For the first half of each day, Colloboh will be performing release and unreleased pieces live using his modular synthesizer. Music of the second half will be an improvisation fueled by inspiration information derived from this incredibly unique performance setting. Taking place in Terminal 1
