“A gloriously improvised heart” – Piotr Orlov for Dada Strain
iiisa is the budding solo project of NYC-based latinx vocalist and improviser-composer, isabel crespo pardo. Their intimate songs emerge from warm sonic landscapes filled with familial chatter and field recordings from their home in Costa Rica. Taking great care, they transform opaque memories into powerful ephemera in hopes of offering solace.
In addition to their solo practice, crespo is known for their work with sinonó, tilt, and toso toso, as well as ongoing interdisciplinary work. They have the joy of collaborating with a myriad of artists, including Raven Chacon, Sandra Mujinga, and Matthew Barney, and have performed at Roulette Intermedium, Lincoln Center, and the Noguchi Museum.
