FROSTY & TURQUOISE WISDOM – “TIMELESS GEMS WORTH SPREADING” – A TEDACTIVE 2010 ENTRY MIX

DOWNLOAD SESSION

TED is a small non profit devoted to “Ideas Worth Spreading.” It started out in 1984 as a conference bringing together people from three worlds: Technology, Entertainment, Design. Since then its scope has become ever broader.

On TED.com, the best talks and performances from TED are available to the world, for free. More than 500 TEDTalks are now online, with more added each week. All of the talks feature closed captions in English, and many feature subtitles in various languages. These videos are released under a Creative Commons license, so they can be freely shared and re-posted.

In 2010, a spectacular group of people will converge on Palm Springs, California, to experience a live simulcast of TED in an intimate, full immersion setting. TEDActive blends the allure of the future with the mystique of a desert oasis, complete with live music, bonus speakers, and highly inspired makers/doers.

dublab djs frosty and Turquoise Wisdom were invited to enhance the experience with dj sets and musical experiments. As a primer to TEDActive they created a special “Timeless Gems Worth Spreading” mix to turn-on participants and the universe with rare sound gems from the dublab collective. Enjoy!

dublab presents…VISION VERSION

dublab VisionVersion logo

CLICK HERE TO WATCH VISION VERSION FILMS

VisionVersion is a new dublab film project created by a collective of visionary directors. We’re filming artists we love performing live songs in amazing locations around Los Angeles. These will be shared with the world through the dublab.com and film friendly spots across the web.

dublab presents…Secondhand Sureshots

"SECONDHAND SURESHOTS" stars

A dublab documentary project featuring four amazing, LA-based beat makers: Daedelus, J.Rocc, Nobody and Ras G – in a secret mission to create new musical magic from the dusty remains of thrift store vinyl. DVD and vinyl release coming on Stones Throw Records in early 2010.

INTO INFINITY : an exploration of on and on and on and on….

"INTO INFINITY" logo with dublab & cc

CLICK HERE TO GET INTO INFINITY

dublab & Creative Commons invite you to explore the wide possibilities of forever! INTO INFINITY is an art and music exhibition built on audio loops and visual circles. These elements are open to in-the-moment manipulation and available for remixing and resubmission. INTO INFINITY is a creative movement that sends inspired echoes into the future. Stay tuned for live exhibition dates and website developments.

“EYE”
We distributed blank, white 12" paper circles to our wide community of inspired artists to fill with vibrant visions. These infinite loops have amazing potential to shine and blow minds.

“EAR”
We asked a diverse spectrum of music-minded friends to contribute 8-second sound loops with any ambience, tonality or texture they desired. These loops expand in open ears.

THE DREAM SCENE : images from imaginary happenings

THE DREAM SCENE : images from imaginary happenings

CLICK HERE TO SEE THE DREAM SCENE GALLERY

dublab’s DREAM SCENE brings into being the magic that resides in creative minds. We asked bright art stars to share their ultimate music lineups. There was one guideline (but really no rules): the super shows should have never actually happened. Our dreamers rose to the occasion creating posters, flyers, ticket stubs, concert reviews, and t-shirts reflecting their imaginary happenings. Dive into the DREAM SCENE and enjoy an elevated experience of far out music fantasy!

If these images turn you on, we urge you to join the DREAM SCENE. To submit your fantasy music creation contact: info@dublab.com

UP OUR SLEEVE: the dublab covers project

our logo looks good

CLICK HERE TO SEE THE UP OUR SLEEVE GALLERY

What is UP OUR SLEEVE? Music memories, paper, paint, ink, ribbons, paste, plastic, photos, metal, vinyl, trains, tape, mannequin heads, and magic. Out of wartime and low cash woes came inspiration for united creativity. We distributed hundreds of blank 12″ record sleeves to our artistic friends who passed them onto their pals and on and on. UP OUR SLEEVE reflects the dublab community. We are rooted in Los Angeles while branching worldwide.

dublab is in love with vinyl and the deep culture that surrounds it. Sadly, album art has been shrinking: 12″ > 5″ > invisible MP3’s. UP OUR SLEEVE is an opportunity to expand again. Our sleeves are big. A square foot of fun with a hole tossed in the middle. A blank 12″ cover is an exciting medium. It’s instantly recognizable and infinitely adjustable.

Most often album covers are made to match existing music. UP OUR SLEEVE flips this paradigm. The pieces are influenced by music genres and albums while existing free of specific attachment. This is open artistic expression. Who knows, someday songs might be sung for these covers.

UP OUR SLEEVE: the dublab covers project is a fundraiser. Each artist donated their one of a kind creation. The sleeves will be auctioned off online to support dublab’s positive music transmissions. Keep your eyes on upoursleeve.org for auction dates.

UP OUR SLEEVE is an exploration of deep music imagery. We hope you dig it.

dublab presents…PATCHWORK

patchwork logo

CLICK HERE TO SEE THE PATCHWORK GALLERY

We gathered our artistic pals for a super sewing party and created a far out freak flag.

Each contributor was asked to flip ten square inches of found fabric. They painted, printed, stiched, stapled, crimped, and cut fibers into new forms. With a little luck and sturdy thread we merged single squares into stunning modular strips.

PATCHWORK is a celebration of bold craftiness. Our thimble thumbed collective pushed dimensions of cloth creation. We hope you enjoy the outcome.

FOL CHEN – Live “Sprout Session” (02.26.09)

FOL CHEN

DOWNLOAD SESSION

When the mysterious and intentionally obscure Fol Chen materialized in the dublab studio and left behind nearly twenty minutes of skewed pop perfection, we didn’t ask any questions. We just sat back and reveled in the happy-making melodies, skewed lyrics, and supremely danceable songs that helped this band cruise onto the roster of Asthmatic Kitty and delight all those they’ve come into contact with. After our initial mesmerized moments, we devised an elaborate plan to capture the elusive Fol Chen in action. However, when we flashed our nets they were already gone. At least we’re left with these wonderful sound memories.

SILK FLOWERS – Live “Sprout Session” (02.26.09)

DOWNLOAD SESSION

These Silk Flowers, hand delivered from New York City, grow on you. You might as well just put this live session on repeat, because silky seeds are being sowed in your brain as soon as you push play. Several listens later, the odd and enigmatic shades of gray which first confronted you bloom into a prismatic synth world populated by kaleidoscopic colors, unique song structures, and haunting, strangely poignant vocals. Remember — although not of the natural world, life-like Silk Flowers never die.

EDAN – ECHO PARTY (SNIPPET)


LAUNCH IN NEW WINDOW

A brain is a fragile, pulsating tool that must be treated with the utmost care. We recommend getting your head shredded up in the right way through the efforts of highly skilled neuron crunchers. In this case Edan is a man fit for the task. His new album Echo Party is a beast of a blast through the past of hip hop party jams and the future of fuzzed-out mind flight. To accompany this psychedelic excursion Tom Fitzgerald aka Pimpadelic Wonderland, Cut Chemist’s visual main man and one of the curators of our favorite LA weirdo theater Cinefamily, made a wonderfully wild film cut up that equals the music in every measure. Please dig in and enjoy, because this mind-warp experience is in masterful hands. – frosty

In fact what’s already here is quite amazing. His album Impressions Of The Inexpressible Invisible is out now through Moamoo/Art Union in Japan.
