Music in the Galleries: Jacob Trombetta

Join us for a free concert that celebrates the intersection of art and technology. Jacob Trombetta, a pedal steel guitarist who utilizes electronics in his playing, performs in ArtLens Gallery, a space that allows you, your family, and your friends to discover the museum’s collection using award-winning digital technology.

Trombetta is a composer, producer, and multimedia artist residing in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. Drawing inspiration from Harold Budd and Jon Hassell, Trombetta is known for bringing novel applications of technology to bear in artistic spaces. With the pedal steel as a focal point, Trombetta brings compositional expertise and a background spanning robotics, computer vision, and cryptography to produce uniquely atmospheric experiences. Trombetta has collaborated with artists such as Mark Mothersbaugh and Patrick Carney, and he has accumulated more than 20 million listens on Spotify with the Six Parts Seven. 

Transfixed by the ambient goth soundscapes of his upbringing in northern Appalachia, and with an eye for shadows, Trombetta invites the audience into a meditative journey with this pedal steel, guitar, and electronics performance.

More information about Trombetta can be found on his website.
