Indexical is a nonprofit organization based in Santa Cruz, California. Indexical is dedicated to experimentation in music.

Justin Houser and Noah Alonzo perform at CO-OPt from Lubbock, Texas, and converse with Andrew Weathers for Indexical's Collocation series.

<p><em>Indexical&#x27;s </em>Collocation <em>series continues with a program curated by Andrew Weathers, featuring Justin Houser and Noah Alonzo.

The two main nodes of activity are CO-OPt Research + Projects and the Llano Estacado Monad Band. CO-OPt is a collectively run arts space that pre-pandemic hosted regular performances by touring and local artists, as well as visual arts programming and studio space. Llano Estacado Monad Band is a morphing collective of improvising musicians from all over the Llano Estacado region which has functioned not only as a performing unit but as a catalyst to further collaboration. The scene is small but supportive and interdisciplinary and expansive in its aesthetic boundaries. What we have going on in Lubbock and elsewhere on the Llano Estacado is vibrant and active and an ideal incubator for interesting creative activity. (Andrew Weathers)

<h3>About <em>Collocation</em></h3><p>It’s that blurry line between artist and organizer that characterizes the radical edges of what we call experimental music. Throughout 2021, Indexical highlights that blur with a new online video series <em>Collocation</em>. This new series features artists in conversation with other artists from their scene or community, whether that’s a geographic site or a more distributed platform.</p>
