About Zorthian Ranch:
At the foot of the beautiful San Gabriel Mountains in Altadena sits the one and only Zorthian Ranch, a legendary party place built by hand out of spare parts by Jirayr Zorthian. This junkyard oasis seems like the type of place you stumble into lost in a ghost town, but the Ranch leads a peaceful weird existence with its pet llamas and chickens just 15 miles from downtown Los Angeles on a mountainside surrounded by trees. Up until Jirayr’s death in 2004, the ranch served as a haven of bohemian life and a backdrop for his artistic expression—salvaged wood, bed springs, rusted vehicles, broken concrete, movie set pieces, beer bottles, old props, more than one kitchen sink, and other junk he could recycle into various sculptures and architecture. By hosting events at this special place over the last few years, The New L.A. Folk Fest has revived the spirits that once danced around these grounds in red long underwear.
About Tonalism:
Tonalism is a dusk-to-dawn event inspired by La Monte Young’s “Dream House” as well as the work of musicians and composers such as Terry Riley, Yoko Ono and John Cage. Tonalism combines harmonious textures in a surround sound system with visual elements to create an atmosphere where the audience is encouraged to bring pillows, cushions and sleeping bags to lay down, listen and watch for an extended period of time. DJs, live musicians and video artists play and perform throughout the night; starting at sunset and ending at sunrise. Complimentary tea and water are provided to all who attend.
Open wide to a new world. Expansive radiance awaits in this environment of elevation. We have entered a glowing landscape of transformative tones. The horizon line fades and every edge softens. Natural laws dissolve as we float on pure sound particles. Vibration has become the new vision and your being beams brightly, blurring into harmonic hum with the universe. “You” and “I” are no longer. This is all together. Transformation complete.
THE RULES…..
SAFETY
We provide the fun atmosphere. Attendees are responsible for their own safety and well-being at the ranch.
WHAT TO BRING
Bring cash. There is no ATM.
Bring flashlights and wear comfortable shoes. All guests must walk up a dirt hill from the parking area to the ranch. (10 minutes uphill, it’s .2 of a mile)
Some areas of the ranch are paved but be prepared to walk on dirt, grass, and uneven steps.
Bring a bathingsuit & towel if you plan to get in the pool. Bring a blanket or sleeping bag to lounge on during performances. No tents.
Guests can bring picnic baskets, food, and drink. No glass bottles. There will also be food trucks on site.
PARKING/CARPOOL/BUS
Carpool if possible because there is limited parking.
There’s a public bus (the 260) that takes you to the foot of the ranch. Visit metro.net to figure out your route.
All cars must check in at the Zorthian Ranch parking lot, which is located at the foot of the mountain. Follow signs and instructions from the parking crew. Do not park in the residential area near the ranch. Parking is permitted only in Folk Fest marked areas.
DOGS No dogs allowed.
CHILDREN are welcome but parents/guardians must take total responsibility for their child’s safety and whereabouts at all times. No child should be left unattended at any time. Sharp, heavy, loose objects are on exhibit everywhere. You and your child will be asked to leave without a refund if the child is found alone, or playing with or on any exhibited objects, or if you fail to comply with all child safety rules.
ADULTS This is a downhome affair. Be respectful as if it were your home. Be careful. Don’t drink and drive. Don’t fall down the hill. The New Los Angeles Folk Fest and its sponsors, donors, volunteers, workers and founders are not liable for anything that happens to you while you are on the property of Zorthian Ranch or en route to and from. Remember, sharp, heavy, loose objects are on exhibit everywhere. Treat everything with respect. You will be asked to leave without a refund if you are found playing with or on any exhibited objects, or if you fail to comply with any rules.
