Inside LA's All-Night Ambient Music Scene

#126: It's summer! Time for all night, experimental ambient music gatherings....right???  Ambient music gatherings as a thing have been gaining popularity here in the LA area in the past few years. These immersive events combine elements of music, theater, dance, live visual art and poetry to create a really impactful experience meant to take you on a journey of sorts.  And the roots of these events come from what’s known as “happenings” that trace back to 1960s loft parties in New York, and even further to traditional, meditative trance music from places like India and Morocco.  Today, HTLA producer Megan Botel takes you to a recent ambient music event called Tonalism at Descanso Gardens in La Cañada Flintridge to tell you what this scene is all about.  Guests: Mark "Frosty" McNeil, co-founder of Dublab and Creative Producer of LA Phil; Hatt Merlino, producer at Dublab, Rachel Day, program director at Dublab
