LA JAZZ LIVE BROADCAST

Presented in collaboration with KCHUNG, DJs will be spinning sets in the Music Center Plaza celebrating the history of Jazz in Los Angeles. Enjoy the music live in the Plaza or hear it broadcast on KCHUNG’s low-powered FM signal from your car on your way to and from the venue. These sets will be broadcast live on dublab as well, so there’s still something to enjoy if you can’t make it out to Sleepless!

Artist Lineup
DJ Sacred and DJ Al Jackson

LOWER LOBBY SOUND BATH

This installation will consist of multiple reel-to-reel tape machines, each playing one pre-recorded, fairly long, magnetic tape loop. Each loop will be a different length and contain sounds created specifically to interact with one another in the DCP lower lobby for the duration of the event. This interaction will be the live, chance element as at no point in the evening will the exact same variation/combination ever repeat, much in the spirit of Brian Eno’s Music For Airports concept. It’s likely this will be the ideal sonic environment to wade in before and after expelling bodily waste in the adjoining lavish powder rooms. Tape loops created by Nanny Cantaloupe and Tom Recchion

THE TONAL STAGE

This stage will be partly inspired by the dublab annual ambient happening, Tonalism, and our love for electronic music of all genres and eras. DJs and musicians will perform through a six-speaker surround sound system on the the 2nd floor lobby, below the room’s massive chandeliers. Expect a space transformed for an immersive experience where attendees are encouraged to either dance or lay down and listen to the electronic pulses, beats, drones and textures from a wide range of styles.
