Field Recordings

A DAY OF NEW MUSIC
Art Installations, Deep Listening, Food Trucks, Beer Garden, and more!

The line-up includes performances of Dark Waves (Vicki Ray) and Canticles of the Sky (Calder Quartet).

The LA Phil's new-music marathon includes 12 hours of live performances and art installations in every corner of Walt Disney Concert Hall. This year's festival, curated by Pulitzer-prize winning composer Ellen Reid, explores the intersections of art, technology, and nature through the theme of field recordings, the act of capturing audio in natural or built environments outside of a studio setting. Noon to Midnight: Field Recordings is an invitation to experience how sound changes us by participating in deeper forms of listening.

His music perfectly echoes the landscape he loves: impersonal, relentless, larger than human scale, yet gorgeous, a quiet chaos of colors, suffused with light. It’s not a climate everyone could live in. But for those who want to bathe their ears in an aural aurora borealis while staying warm inside, it’s a spiritual odyssey well worth taking. - Kyle Gann
