Voyage with dublab into new worlds. Each week we present field recordings 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. The Metabolic Studio is 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.

Each week we will bring field recordings of Metabolic Studio’s current projects, Bending the River, Meandros. Moving Mountains, and archival material from past ventures including the improvised music of Metabolic Sonics. 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.

Singing into the Silo. This is a mix of archival recordings – the Interdependence Choir singing into the silo from many different locations across the Los Angeles area and across the country connecting in the echo of the silo and the massive Aeolian Harp strung along its sides.
