sinonó is a brief submergence, a string of choices, a container for the communion of rigor and failure. This NY-based trio, featuring Isabel Crespo Pardo (voice), Lester St. Louis (cello), and Henry Fraser (bass), performs graphic scores and poem/songs composed by Crespo. sinonó will tour the Northeast in March 2023 in anticipation of their debut album.

The Bureau of Sensory Affairs (BSA) is an institution dedicated to sensory experimentation. Based in Washington, DC, its mission is to provide a platform for research into the limits of perception, sensuality, emotion, imagination, empathy, and memory. Though no individual sensation is privileged over another, hearing and sound are the primary drivers to advance such research. Working in collaboration with other organizations and artists of all disciplines, the BSA is more interested in posing questions than seeking answers. Theoretical abstractions take precedence over scientific truths. And searches hold more meaning than findings. 

The BSA’s core objective is to explore questions that arise through the facilitation of experiences, both subtle and intense, where aural sensation intersects with sight, touch, taste, smell and other mysterious senses.
