The Kraków-based Unsound Festival challenges presumptions of contemporary composition with unique staging, unlikely instrumentation, and passionate presentation. The November 1 Unsound concert is an international celebration of sound in three acts, featuring cutting-edge composers hailing from Central Europe, South America, and the United Kingdom. We begin with a work for strings and electronics called Pure Voices by experimental Polish composer Aleksandra Słyż, presented by one of Poland's leading chamber ensembles, the Sinfonietta Cracovia. The evening continues with an official album launch of A Danger to Ourselves, the hotly anticipated new album from "gleefully cerebral" (Pitchfork) Colombian musician Lucrecia Dalt. Dalt's distinctive sonic signature includes touches of avant-pop, adventurous sound design, and Latin rhythm, all couched within her vividly personal narrative. We conclude with Sinfonietta Cracovia performing new and old works by the London-based composer Mica Levi including: MAKING LOVE - FLAG - THOUGHTS ARE BORN - SLASHER. Levi is known for scoring films by Jonathan Glazer (The Zone of Interest, Under the Skin) and their work with Nan Goldin (Memory Lost, Sirens). They also operate as a solo musician and as a member of the groups Good Sad Happy Bad, Spresso and the collective CURL.

Unsound is co-organized by Fundacja Tone and co-presented by the Polish Cultural Institue New York in NYC. This project is co-financed by the Minister of Culture and National Heritage of the Republic of Poland from the Culture Promotion Fund in partnership with the Adam Mickiewicz Institute.
