Inspired by the art exhibition, “the eight directions of the wind: Edmund de Waal at The Huntington,” this series of intimate vinyl listening sessions—co-hosted by creative director Josh Kun and In Sheep’s Clothing—explores themes of exile, sanctuary, and migration.
Each session features a hi-fi sound system and a single-key vinyl recording—with accompanying physical liner notes—that tie the exhibition to musical histories and communities across Los Angeles and invite listeners to dive deeper into the historical contexts of each selection.
The final session features the 2025 compilation “Tehrangeles Vice (Iranian Diaspora Pop 1983-1993).” Released by the Discotchari label, the compilation showcases the dynamic Iranian music scene that flourished in exile after the revolution of 1979, from Westwood to Glendale to the San Fernando Valley. Recorded in local studios and often featuring prominent L.A. session musicians, these songs were crucial to shaping diasporic Iranian identity and community in L.A.
The session will include a conversation with Discotchari co-founders Zachary Asdourian and Anais Gyulbudaghyan, and a live performance by Faunoos.
