The birds are singing, the skies are blue, and weāll see you in the shade of our omniscient peppercorn tree friend within the Audubon Center at Debs Park for a donation-based afternoon of art and ecological attunement featuring LAās beloved Infinite Body.
Itās hot, we know, so come sweat it out with us while listening to one of our most locally revered composers of affect, sculpters of noise, of gutteral catharsis, of simply deeply meaningful music. Infinite Body has been a soundtrack for the last 16 years of so many of our lives, and regardless of whether you can viscerally feel when carve out the face of my god first entered your life or if this is your first time becoming acquainted with Kyle Parkerās music, this afternoon is for you. Let these last days of summer bring you transcendence and transformation, and weāll see you in our peppercorn tree sauna for some mid-day revelations through music.
Our friend Esteban Pulido of Los Angeles Print Shop is also stepping in this afternoon to share some favorite musical selections before and after Kyleās set. We deeply appreciate all that Esteban does, love reading his Making Art At The End Of The World newsletter, and are looking forward to sitting with the sounds he brings forth.
Bring a blanket, a picnic, and pull up with us.
All ages & donation based!

a gentle reminder: please leave your adorable pups at home this afternoon as to not disrupt the Audubon Centerās ongoing habitat restoration efforts.
Infinite Body is the solo moniker of Los Angeles-based musician Kyle Parker. Since starting the project in 2007 he has utilized warm analogue synthesis, extreme digital sound design, and quiet sample manipulation to explore the raw feeling of the sublime.
On his last full-length album, 2024ās my bright abyss, he applied generative composition techniques to piano and edited the recordings into a range of moods & fidelities. The results "bring to mind Erik Satieās piano works or Joe Hisaishiās Ghibli scores, while approaching the audio intimacy of Grouperās Ruinsā (Miles Bowe, Bandcamp Daily).
For 20+ years the Audubon Center at Debs Park has been a beacon for how conservation organizations can work within our cities to cultivate a deeper relationship between people and place. Through monthly hikes, restoration days, bird walks, field trips, movie nights, community festivals, and hosting gatherings like these each and every month, the Audubon Center at Debs Park has played an essential role in building a more diverse and inclusive conservation movement here in Los Angeles.
Weāre so grateful for the humans of the Audubon Center, the advocacy that they champion in dialogue with local culture and native ecology, and it is an absolute honor to gather here together on the 3rd Saturday of (almost) every month.
