As part of the exhibition Several Paths Together, Indexical is please to present a solo music performance by Billy Gomberg followed by a post-concert Q&A.

Several Paths Together
Several Paths Together is a set of ten photographs by San Francisco-based musician-artist Billy Gomberg. Shot on film in and around the Marin Headlands, Point Reyes, and Bolinas, these photographs express the awe-inspiring majesty of Bay Area landscapes—and our own human impositions upon them. 
 
After moving to San Francisco in 2018, Gomberg began hiking around local environs with his son: first as a transplant, and eventually as a resident. These explorations soon moved farther afield to West Marin, and with camera and child in tow, Gomberg began shooting, framing the same vantage points on different days, in different weather. 
 
Whether or not you've traversed these spaces yourself, Gomberg's photos, and the immediacy of their beauty, reveal the West Coast anew.
 
These works were created on the occupied, unceded ancestral homelands of the Me-Wuk (Coast Miwok) and Ramaytush Ohlone peoples.
 
Billy Gomberg
Billy Gomberg lives in San Francisco, California. As a musician, his practice incorporates traditional & modern synthesis, digital treatments, acoustic location recordings and occasional instrumentation. As a visual artist, he uses film photography to document the natural world and its human interface. Commitments to improvisation; exploration of internal and external spaces; and interpersonal relationships as pathways of cultural and emotional exchange guide his work. 

A sign-up based Open Mic night for anyone involved in making electronic music, whatever the style, genre or format - anything from ambient and drone through synth pop, techno to industrial, noise and beyond!

The intent is to showcase live performances of music that is primarily electronic in nature - e.g. acts using hardware or software synthesizers, electronic instruments, sequencers and so forth. The definition is pretty broad - ask us if you’re not sure your act is a fit.

Scholar and curator, Anastasia Chernysheva guides us through the history of biofeedback art from the 1960s to the present and an overview of the main approaches to live representation of biological data (video, sound), and an outline of the possible developments and challenges of this hybrid art-science practice. 

Artist and researcher, Barbara Nerness leads a hands-on biofeedback music workshop with three types of EKG devices and techniques for heartbeat sonification.
