Time Phase Trio features dynamic and nimble playing from Jen Baker, Ty Citerman, and Shayna Dunkelman in a provocative ensemble of trombone, guitar, electronics and percussion. These three seasoned improvisers have whimsical conversations, at times delicate, cerebral, provocative and growling. Rhythms erupt or unfurl, texture and mood are key elements, groove is fleeting. Multiphonics, electronic blips and whirrs, percussive hums - all of this moves lyrical melodic sketches into strange and refracted territory. “Time Phase Trio…stake out a territory that’s infused with a certain wry humour - even a little slapstick levity…A debt to Anthony Braxton’s playfully serious processes seems likely." -Daniel Spicer, The Wire

sinonó is a brief submergence, a string of choices, a container for the communion of rigor and failure. This NYC-based trio, featuring Isabel Crespo Pardo (voice), Lester St. Louis (cello), and Henry Fraser (bass), performs graphic scores and poem-songs composed by Crespo. Their affinity for melody, metaphor and abstraction draws them into familiar yet surprising environments, crackling with aliveness. sinonó has performed at venues such as Rhizome, Roulette Intermedium, and The DiMenna Center. They will be celebrating the release of their debut album, la espalda y su punto radiante, on Subtext Records.
