Starting this March L.A.’s most majestic transit hub, Union Station, will be teaming up with musical curators at dublab to create a month-long sound series called Music For Train Stations.
The weekly performances are an homage to Brian Eno’s 1978 Music For Airports, a looping, layered composition of melodies and sounds often cited as the first-ever ambient album.
