Anchored in the electronic music scene, this conversation explores the intersections of neuroscience, music, culture, and psychedelics, and how altered states have long served artists as portals for vision, resilience, and creative evolution.

Stephanie Karzon Abrams a neuropharmacologist, artist, and co-founder of Public Secret Records is joined by Marcel Artis, artist, operations lead at Public Secret and founder of the Grammy winning Artis Entertainment Group, for an intimate, insider dialogue on the music industry itself, how scenes are born, how culture moves, and how artists navigate meaning in an era shaped by algorithms and burnout.

Part salon, part rave sermon, part industry fireside, this gathering brings together dancers, thinkers, creators, and anyone curious about where music, medicine, and modern myth converge.

This talk is part of SF Music Week at Manny’s which brings the city’s music community together for a set of intimate conversations about where music is right now, and where it’s headed. From the lived experience of going to shows, to the urgent question of whether artists can still afford to call San Francisco home, to the deeply personal songs that shape a life in music, this three-part series centers the voices, stories, and realities behind the sound.
