Senso di Voce focuses on the embodied experience of varying acoustical phenomena. Implementing the unique acoustic properties of their instruments and of the performance space, they create otherworldly performances that reveal the interconnected timbral threads among new music and early music from diverse cultural traditions. This, combined with improvisation and movement, brings audiences into an immersive experience that transcends expectations.
The duo has created multiple performances for Silo City, a collection of repurposed grain elevators in Buffalo, NY. In 2022, they curated a performance and talk in dialogue with a Renaissance print exhibition at the Memorial Art Gallery (Rochester). They were commissioned to design and implement a six-channel surround installation for Play/Ground art festival (Buffalo) in 2021, which they later redesigned for Frontispace Gallery (Rochester) in 2022. Tierceron, an album of improvisations with collaborator Henry Birdsey, was released on Other Minds Records (San Francisco) in 2023.
In August 2021, Senso di Voce was awarded a Classical Commissioning Grant* from Chamber Music America to commission a new piece by Esin Gunduz inspired by the philosophical writings of the Sufi mystic Ibn ‘Arabî. The work was completed in summer 2023 and will be premiered in 2024.
