Inside The lab

Maybe you've listened to the episode about space and closed your eyes and tried to imagine that Golden Record creeping out toward the edge of our solar system. You might've cried in your car while listening to the "New Normal?" episode about that guy who found acceptance in his small town. Perhaps you've heard the one called "Quantum Cello" with the haunting soundtrack. Or the one on emergence, or the one on stochasticity, or the one that explores the possibilities of the afterlife. The sound-rich Radiolab podcast delves deep into philosophical and scientific questions about life and nature, and the groundbreaking show's creator and co-host Jad Abumrad is in town tonight to deliver a multimedia lecture called "Gut Churn" about creativity and creation. Come see a presentation from a MacArthur grant receiver, radio innovator, and music composer about how he works and how negative emotions may (or may not) assist with the creative process.

  • clipping at Brava Theater Sept. 11
    Sub Pop recording artists 'clipping.' brought their brand of noise-driven experimental hip hop to the closing night of 2016's San Francisco Electronic Music Fest this past Sunday. The packed Brava Theater hosted an initially seated crowd that ended the night jumping and dancing against the front of the stage. The trio performed a set focused on their recently released Sci-Fi Horror concept album, 'Splendor & Misery', then delved into their dancier and more aggressive back catalogue, and recent single 'Wriggle'. Opening performances included local experimental electronic duo 'Tujurikkuja' and computer music artist 'Madalyn Merkey.'"
