On this episode, Marina speaks with the members of sinonó, who will be joining us in concert this Saturday Oct. 7 at the Dimenna Center in New York City.

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. sinonó will release their debut album in early 2024.
