Up The Drone: 27-Hour Ambient Soundbath to Honor Corazon’s 8th Anniversary
May 6, 2023 @ 5:00 pm - May 7, 2023 @ 7:00 pm

inside the Beating Heart of Topanga Canyon,
Corazón Performing Arts
UP THE DRONE
27 ʜᴏᴜʀs of Unbroken Drone and Ambient Artistry. Again.
Classical ambientDarkwave, Guided meditation, Industrial noise, Soundbath Bowling,Feedback,Primal Hiss, Sonic Decayists, Assault Loop, Yodelists, Hummers, Chanters, Synth Disassemblers, Gongists, Fermenters, Diggery Dooists, Doomcore, Throat Singers, Breathers, Distortionists, Collagists, Sense Memory Mind Worms, and many, many more.
For twenty seven hours of uninterrupted live performance, from 5PM 5/6 through 7PM 5/7, these various forms that might never have come together otherwise will erupt, collide, merge and separate.
Corazón Performing Arts in Topanga Canyon, LA will once again host ‘UP THE DRONE’ an ambient sound experience with a ‘no-dead-air’ protocol. It is not to be missed. This time, in honor of the 8th Anniversary of Corazón, an eclectic space built for like-minded spirits to gather and experience the shared current of our time.
The veils are already beginning to tremble at the very idea that a bunch of awkward artists might actually try to pull this off. AGAIN.
