FICUNAM16
Banda Aparte is a new section of FICUNAM 16, part of Umbral Expandido, and a collaboration between the festival and sona. Six deep listening sessions dedicated to soundtrack music, scores, and studio albums, listened to in full and in order. The music stands alone, without screenings or live performances, giving sound the place it normally yields to the image.
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.
19 seats remaining - 90-minute session
We'll let you know when we schedule it.
why Paterson (Original Score) - SQÜRL
For Jim Jarmusch’s film about a bus driver who writes poetry, his band SQÜRL set aside the guitars and drums and worked almost exclusively with analog synthesizers. Feedback noise became crystal-harp hums, and the kick drum became deep bass thumps. The result, in Jarmusch’s own words, is dreamy ambient music: warm, minimal, and luminous, accompanying the moments on screen when the protagonist writes.

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.
