The Garage Lab Performance: Syna So Pro

Syna So Pro is a one-woman band who uses a multiplex of effects pedals, rack units, mixers, instruments, and beats to create her live sound. Focusing on the “nerdery” of intertwining melodies, chord progressions, and sounds, Syna So Pro creates an aural ride that will etch itself in the minds of listeners.

Located in Sculpture Hall, The Garage Lab by Gary Simmons recalls the structure of a typical suburban garage set up with amps and equipment for band practice. In addition to constructing the garage’s wooden frame, Simmons lined the interior with historic and contemporary concert posters collected over many years from around the world. The digitally altered posters also include nods to the St. Louis hip hop scene.

Created as a space for community interaction, The Garage Lab serves as a venue for live performances by poets, musicians, dancers, and DJs. When the space is not being activated by performances, video playback of previous productions will be displayed on a nearby monitor.
