Descanso Gardens in La Cañada Flintridge presents “Tonalism: Day,” an ambient music exhibit exploring spatial sound installed by nonprofit online radio station dublab, on Thursday, June 9, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
During the four-day exhibit, Thursday, June 9 through Sunday, June 12, visitors at Descanso Gardens will experience a quadraphonic sound exhibit taking place during regular visiting hours and including pre-recorded works by various artists that will play on rotation. A specially designed sound system will allow the public to immerse in a sonic experience while enjoying their surroundings.
At the Main Lawn, meditative music will bring a new sound element to this garden space. Visitors can explore The Centering Center’s woven pavilion – a social space for interaction and reflection.
On Thursday, Tina Orduno Calderon, a Culture Bearer of Gabrielino Tongva, Chumash and Yoeme descent, hosts a Storytelling Workshop from 11 a.m. to 12 noon.
“Soundbaths” will be featured on Thursday and Friday, June 9 and 10, from 5 to 6:30 p.m.
And on Sunday, June 12, Marcos Lutyens, a British interdisciplinary artist and author based in Los Angeles, presents Four Quadrant Induction Meditation, from 11 a.m. to 12 noon.
