SIMMER

The first night of the 20th edition of Unsound Kraków brings together artists from around the world. Kraków percussionist and sound artist Aleksander Wnuk presents En Face: Solitude by Sarah Nemtsov – in which a solo percussionist performs in their own ‘room’ on stage – as well as Rolf Wallin’s Scratch for amplified balloon. Mexican electroacoustic musician Debit’s most recent album reimagines the sound of ancient Mayan musical instruments, while The Ephemeron Loop is the solo project of Vymethoxy Redspiders of UK noise-metal duo Guttersnipe, combining shoegaze, hard dance, dub techno and more. The night ends with Indonesian duo Raja Kirik, drawing on Java’s rich cultural traditions and history of colonial oppression to create dark, euphoric music.
