Voyage with dublab into new worlds. Each week we present a long-form field recording that will transport you through the power of sound.

This recording was made at Tuttle Creek, above Intake #0026, in Lone Pine, California. Originating near the top of Mount Langley at 14,032 feet, Tuttle Creek drops down through 85 million year old monzogranite canyons before reaching the foothills of the Eastern Sierras. At 4,530 ft, Tuttle Creek weaves through the Alabama Hills, aerating among metamorphosed volcanic boulders and infinitesimal crystals, before reaching a three part diversion channel that belongs to the city of Los Angeles. Intakes are points of transition, where glacial and spring fed waterways from the Sierra Nevada watershed are captured and diverted into pipes that merge with the Los Angeles Aqueduct. From there, the water is transported southward over 300 miles of terrain to supply the megalopolis; the lifeblood of our Cyborg Watershed. This is the third recording in a series of field recordings from various intakes along the Los Angeles Aqueduct.

Tune-in, open up, and venture out there as we take excursions into evocative audio fields together.
