Curator Series
A series of sessions curated by people and projects we admire. Brands, festivals, friends, and selectors invite us to listen through their ears. Here, what is heard matters as much as who chooses it.
Hi-Fi Stereo
We play digital audio of the highest quality through our analog system: tube amplifiers and OJAS KO-R1 speakers. Designed by Devon Turnbull, the KO-R1 creates hyper-realistic and detailed, warm and natural soundscapes. They generate absolute presence in the sound. In our space designed for deep listening, you will discover hidden details, textures, and movements impossible to feel in headphones.

why Gary Indiana: en voz propia
A listening session dedicated to American writer, actor, artist, and cultural critic Gary Indiana (1950–2024), held as part of the release of Días viles and in tribute to the author, two years after his death. The audio, assembled by Marissa Delano, brings together readings, conversations, and radio appearances, accompanied by some of the songs that left a mark on him. We hear Indiana read his work, respond to the audience, and talk about Havana, art criticism, his years in Los Angeles, and the music that mattered to him.
curated by Diamantina
Diamantina is an independent publishing house based in Mexico City, dedicated to translating essays on contemporary art. We publish texts written by women and LGBTQ+ people, often in the first person and in a narrative register.
community rules
no phones: anything that produces sound must be stored in our secure lockers.
no talk: we keep the soundroom silent so everyone can focus on the music.
no late entry: once the soundroom doors close (20 minutes after the booking time), we cannot let anyone in.
FAQ
can i cancel my ticket?+
yes. cancel any booking through this website. you'll get credits for the seats you paid for if you cancel at least 12 hours before the session (6 hours if you have an active Sona Members or All Access subscription). inside that window the booking can still be cancelled, but no credits are issued and there are no cash refunds. credits work on any future session.
is there a dress code?+
no, but we recommend wearing something comfortable for sitting on the floor. because the room is very quiet, we recommend soft fabrics. try to avoid "noisy" synthetic materials like nylon or windbreakers, as the sound of moving in them can be distracting to others. also, we leave our shoes at the door, so we recommend wearing warm socks.
what if i can't sit on the floor?+
if you need a chair for medical or physical reasons, please let us know when you arrive.
can i buy a drink?+
yes, we serve a curated selection of non-alcoholic drinks and light snacks, but all refreshments must be finished before you enter the soundroom.
