In support of his 2005 album When the Detail Lost its Freedom for the ever-crucial Kranky records, Brian McBride of atmospheric ambient outfits Stars of The Lid and Bell Gardens dropped by dublab for a live rendition of his recent material. In his creative process, McBride recorded guitar, piano and numerous other sources to a keyboard sampler, then composed a batch of all-new works from the recordings. For his set at dublab, McBride triggered the samples live.

Bearing a likeness to the pristine beauty of untouched nature, McBride’s meditative session is an awe-inducing half-hour of placid sounds akin to Eno’s early ambient releases.

FROM THE VAULTS is an ongoing curation project produced by Ben Sinclair, resurfacing rare live performances and DJ sets recorded during dublab’s first ten years.

Rodriguez is a legend we’ve been hooked on ever since Nobody turned us onto “Cold Fact,” his powerful statement of psych-soul from 1970. The album originally released on Sussex Records has risen from obscurity and recently been reissued by the wonderful folks at Light in the Attic Records. Rodriguez himself spent years off the general public’s radar but kept busy with local Detroit politics and playing shows in South Africa and Australia. For us in the northern hemisphere Rodriguez seemed like a powerful spirit of the past and was even rumored to be deceased. Thankfully he’s alive, vibrant and focused on sharing music. His visit to dublab marked his first ever west coast radio session and for this ocassion, he was backed by the always expanding talents Blank Blue. Dig this beautiful session.

Brooklyn’s Effie Briest comes to LA. An all women punk and pyschedelic band. Take a hint of Siouxsie and the Banshees’ rougher edges here, a pinch of Pink Floyd’s expansive prog-rock structures there.

PELLYVISION is a monthly cohesion of sound and vision. Alex Pelly synthesizes live video to accompany sounds from an artist of her choosing.

Green-House is the project of Los Angeles based artist Olive Ardizoni. Approaching the project with an intentional naivety, they craft songs that find freedom through simplicity. As a non-binary artist, they hope to create a space with fewer barriers as both a performer and a listener.

Alex Pelly is a Canadian video artist based in LA whose work incorporates multiple generations of video technology, both analog and digital. In recent years her process has been centered on modular video synthesis. Frequently collaborative with musical accompaniment, her visuals serve as a reflection of and muse to the music simultaneously. She provides live visuals and installation work for various shows, music nights and art happenings around Los Angeles.

Indie rock and electronic duo Over the Atlantic perform live for dublab. Bevan Smith makes music and sound, built and manages the Involve label and is a noted conjurer of extinct birds. As composer/creator he has worked on music for art projects, theatre shows, museums, dance works, Japanese TV adverts and films, notably the Bafta award winning “Touching the Void”. Nik Brinkman went to film school, broke out of high school with the band Ejector who supported Pacifier, D4, and Cassette and can’t put down a telecaster for long.

Get slimed by one of Philly’s finest! Kurt Vile is indeed a cat to slither to. His slinky slank sound is super soul for the generation on hold. Stop, don’t get up from that couch! Plop down and put on something nice like these “sprout session” sounds. Kurt cruised into dublab to play some fine sunny stoned songs. So please enjoy and when this cat is in your hood sway on over and say hello.

Gyan Riley graced the dublab studio to share a live solo guitar piece, insight into his music explorations and some rare recordings. Gyan has collaborated with some of the brightest music minds in the world, from contemporary peers such as Nico Muhly to elder pioneers including his father, Terry Riley. This interview found him fresh from performing at Walt Disney Concert Hall and soon on his way to further world touring. Listen in to discover a musician sending golden currents across our world.

Beneath Detroit showcases previously unheard music from live concert recordings that took place between 1979 and 1992 at the Detroit Institutute of Arts (DIA) as part of the Creative Music at the DIA program. The Creative Music at the DIA concerts highlight an important avant-garde community jazz movement that prominently featured Detroit-based musicians, of which many players are still active today. Both onstage and in continuing musical collaborations, these concerts triangulated and expanded musical connections with the older avant-minded collectives that had been its models, The AACM in Chicago and BAG in St. Louis.

This episode features a concert by the New Chamber Jazz Quintet from Nov. 27th 1982, featuring Spencer Barefield, Anthony Holland, Faruq Z Bey, Jaribu Shahid, and Tani Tabbal.
