Indexical will transform into a comfortable zone for listening and hanging out. Guests are invited to bring records, tapes, CD’s, or other media to listen in an intentional setting on our Meyer sound system. The first portion of the session will feature curated selections from the staff. The second portion will switch to “open decks,” a more casual setting, where anyone can provide or choose something to listen to. 

Listening Lounge is an extension of the S.C.U.M. series hosted at SubRosa Community Space at The Hub.

A series of hybrid study groups, workshops, and gatherings that aim to facilitate a collaborative space for the exploration of a topic or modality under the umbrella of Sound Studies. These get-togethers are experiments in how to learn, play, and listen in collaboration with one another. Rather than the traditional format of teacher/student, the aim is to create a generative communal environment fostered through curiosity and safe space. In other words, being together in a place about a thing.

S.C.U.M. (Santa Cruz Underground Music) is the revival of an old anagram to rekindle a collectivized effort towards performance and skill-share across various experimental art spaces and mediums.
