soundpedro2025 chthonic – annual sound art festival

Angels Gate Cultural Center (AGCC), in partnership with artist group FLOOD, is pleased to present the soundpedro2025 chthonic on-site event on Saturday, June 7th, 7pm – 10pm.

The one-night free event features over 100 artist installations & performances including: sculptures, environments, installations, timed and ongoing performances, interactions, and presentations placed throughout the AGCC 7-acre campus.*

This year’s theme is chthonic: relating to the Underworld, a realm ruled by enigmas and psychopomps, a place of forgotten or yet to be remembered potential. Don’t mistake it for mere subterranean; chthonic implies both profound existential dread and hope.

soundpedro is decidedly not a music event.

Make sure to explore ch’SONIC & Artificial Synesthesia which open in the AGCC gallery on June 7th. Senses blur and the subconscious stirs within the vibrant world of synesthesia-where colors murmur and sounds shimmer-and the mysterious depths of the chthonic, evoking primal forces and shadowy underworlds. The exhibition will be on view through July 5th with free public gallery hours Thursdays through Saturdays, from 10am to 5pm. Visit https://qr.link/3AfhvY for more information about the exhibition.

soundpedro is an annual season of experimental sound art events, presented through November, that investigates the way we perceive and experience sound.

*Note: Be prepared for rough terrain, sun and wind exposure, and temperature changes — e.g. jackets, umbrellas, blankets, practical footwear, etc.

This event is sponsored and hosted by Angels Gate Cultural Center, with support from the Department of Cultural Affairs, City of Los Angeles, Los Angeles County Department of Arts and Culture, Los Angeles County Department of Recreation and Parks, the Perenchio Foundation, The Ahmanson Foundation, and the Ralph M.
