about
A monthly explosion of local talent and creativity! The Tumbleroot Music L.A.B. ("Large Animal Bioassay," named after Sasha and Ann Shulgin's chemistry lab) brings together acoustic, electric, and electronic musicians with live painters and dancers in short- and long-form cross-disciplinary large group improvisations — a psychedelic spaceship exploring the frontiers of the atmospheric groove.
Hosted and curated by looping multi-instrumentalist singer-songwriter Michael Garfield and building on the success of his former Loopers' Night and Paint Jam ATX residencies in Austin, Texas and site-specific collaborative freestyle at festivals around the world, the Tumbleroot Music L.A.B. is medicine to soothe the wounds of the pandemic's social isolation and a showcase for the absurdly intense concentration of artistic greatness that Santa Fe has to offer.
