Indexical is pleased to present an evening of music from the Nathan Clevenger Group and composer/improvisor Marc Perez. The Nathan Clevenger Group will be performing new arrangements of pieces from 'Astrolabe' (2025), a suite for large ensemble, as well the debut of a newly composed piece from a developing 'Astrolabe Apocrypha.' Marc Perez performs "Present/Out Of," a new multimedia work exploring the boundaries and relationship between sound, text & community. This piece aims to bring forth the question "how much of yourself can you give in order to be present and active, listening within a space?"

Eternities is an intuitive collaboration between bass clarinetist Katie Porter and sound artist Bob Bellerue. Their work is inspired by deep presence, resonant feedback, melodic drone, and overtone magic, in the fluid realm between intention and indeterminacy. For this special event, Katie and Bob present solo works followed by a collaborative performance to close out the evening. 

In a trio formation with some of the core rhythm section players from the record, Max Jaffe, Gavin Gamboa, and Logan Kane reimagine the music from Jaffe's 2025 release You Want That Too!

Indexical is pleased to present a screening of experimental 16mm films by Paul Clipson, accompanied by a short talk from collaborator John Davis.

Seating is limited. Advance tickets suggested.

Special thanks to John Davis for projection assistance.
