©2025 Ty Rex Open House 13 – Silver Lake
with Erik Miron [Magnetic Vines]
RSVP – Venmo – PlaylistPlease silence your phone and alarms.
Welcome to Open House! This is a reverent space to rest & reset, bring your meditative practice, and connect to yourself under a crafted musical journey.
This performance is fully improvised as a devotional practice of trust, play, and presence. We invite you, the listener, to join us into the unknown – what will you hear, see, discover?
How to engage:
This is an oasis for your imagination and reflection, away from the responsibilities of work, family, and communal crises. From this resting place, we can heal, re-fuel, re-imagine, and re-enter our lives with perspective, focus and openness.
You’re invited to rest, to sound-bathe, to journal – whatever feels best. Just be reverent of the space and those around you, so as not to distract another’s experience. And feel free to nudge your neighbor if they snore ;)
About our artists & facilitators:
Magnetic Vines is a collaboration between Ross Garren and Erik Miron, who met on the Downtown Los Angeles music scene in the early 2010s. After crossing paths a few times over the years, they found themselves playing the same clubs with increasing frequency in a swing band called The Vignes Rooftop Revival — Garren on bass harmonica and Miron on guitar and trumpet. As music venues across the world shut their doors in March of 2020, the two musicians turned their focus from performing live acoustic music to composing and recording ambient electro-acoustic pieces.
Their self-titled debut “Magnetic Vines” explores concepts of time and space in the natural world, blending lush synth textures with lo-fi acoustic sounds. Their sophomore release, “Snake River Improvisations,” revisits the spirit of their live acoustic era in the context of ambient nature music; the album consists of 10 ambient neoclassical improvisations featuring Garren on solo piano, reacting to the tranquil natural surroundings near the confluence of the Boise and Snake Rivers in southern Idaho. Their third release, “Empty Sky Field Recordings,” takes this concept even further: to create this record, Miron hiked into the remote wilderness of Montana with a guitar and a portable recording rig to capture live performances in the surroundings that inspired them.
Though their recordings are eclectic in sound and scope, a series of common themes run through Magnetic Vines’ body of work: a deep fascination for the rhythms of the natural world, a love for sonic exploration, and an eye toward the cosmos.

Ty Rex (host) is a pianist and artist whose improvisations are the inner-workings of a recovering devotee. Born into a religious community and dedicated to spiritual music as a child, Ty Rex didn’t record solo work until Rumors of War (2020), a coming-of-age grappling with a livelihood lost to religious fundamentalism. In 2024, he released 'Movement: Demos from Rigidity and Recovery', reflecting a journey guided by the wisdom of nature, the elements, lunar cycles, and non-duality, debuted with an art exhibition in 2024.
Ty Rex’s style is deeply influenced by cinematic music, a childhood passion that turned into an early career as an assistant composer on dozens of TV series and films. Yet today, his primary goal is facilitating transformative listening experiences, both in private therapeutic settings and public gatherings, as well as helping musicians connect to their instruments as a meditative practice.

Daniel Weidlein (co-host, saxophone) is a dynamic and genre-fluid music producer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist whose passion for music began at age 11 when he first experimented with recording on the family iMac. With formal training in classical piano, jazz saxophone (BM, USC Thornton School of Music), and composition, he brings a deep musical foundation to every project. Inspired by visionaries like Quincy Jones and Blake Mills, Daniel has collaborated with a diverse range of artists, from pop singer Blake McGrath to jazz saxophonist Bob Mintzer, classical soprano Julie Craig, and funk/soul artist Stan Taylor. His keen musical instincts, technical expertise, and genre-spanning versatility allow him to craft compelling and authentic soundscapes that elevate an artist’s unique voice.
A sought-after vocal producer, Daniel brings his own experience as a vocal bass and backing singer (NBC’s The Sing-Off, Steve Harvey Show, Late Late Show with James Corden) into the studio, creating an environment that encourages playfulness, emotional depth, and artistic freedom. His ability to guide singers with empathy and precision has made him a trusted collaborator for vocalists such as Luke Edgemon (Christina Aguilera, Lady Gaga, Nick Jonas), Kirstin Maldonado (Pentatonix), and Cheyenne Jackson (30 Rock, GLEE). Whether arranging for orchestras, scoring for film and musical theater, or shaping the intricate details of a song’s production, Daniel’s approach is always rooted in musicality, storytelling, and a deep respect for the artist’s creative vision.
