The Lot Radio broadcasts around the clock from a reclaimed shipping container, and this hour belongs to Lia Kohl, a cellist who builds pieces from synthesizers, toy instruments, field recordings and actual radios. Her work listens for the everyday sounds most people tune out. If you work nearby or like your lunch break with a side of experimental music, drop by the lot.
What to expect
The broadcast happens inside the container booth while visitors hang out on the open lot outside. Kohl's set is an hour of live sound, and it streams online at the same time for anyone who cannot make it in person.
