Unsound Festival 2014, Kraków 12-19.10

jest juz troche szczegolow odnosnie nastepnego unsounda:

The theme for Unsound 2014 is The Dream.

What does it mean to be Living The Dream? The Dream is a symptom of a world where self-expression and experience are increasingly mediated and commodified.

The Dream plays out on laptops used for work and leisure, in networked coffee shops, airports, international “artistic enclaves” and nightclubs. Anxiety is its underside: those Living The Dream often do so in precarious financial situations, while in the background, ecological and economic systems lurch towards collapse.

The Dream is the (unintended) result of a century’s worth of counter-culture.
The Dream is the status update.
The Dream is seamless creation and sharing.
The Dream is the history of music available at the click of a button.
The Dream is fleeting and highly combustible.

Music is one of the ultimate harbingers of an emergent Dreamstate. Its cultural capital expands even as its labor is gradually emptied of monetary value. Impacted by the new music-industry infrastructure, media companies and brands, a kind of global “underground” forms, where the insatiable drive to be fresh produces, paradoxically, more of the same. Nowhere is this more evident than the modern festival, where line-ups seem to become more homogenized, whether at mega-raves or smaller specialised events.

“The Dream is an act of auto-criticism and self-reflection aimed to trigger discussion,” says Mat Schulz, Unsound artistic director. “It isn’t meant to be negative, but inquisitive. Historically, The Dream stems from alternative and even oppositional artistic movements and social systems. Our question is, what remains of that subversive drive? In asking this, we realise we also open the position of our own festival to scrutiny, no doubt revealing contradictions.”

Through a series of actions, films and most importantly talks, Unsound 2014 will explore these ideas, as well as consider their original source - counter-culture movements beginning with Dadaism, leading through the Beats, situationist movements, punk and onward. The Dream will also present pivotal musicians and artists whose success — or lack thereof — doesn’t affect their refusal to compromise.

Księżyc bardzo mnie cieszy:)
Ciekawe co wyjdzie z tego powrotu.

Skład, jak co roku, zapowiada się wyśmienicie.

Szkoda, że Deathprod nie zaprezentuje "Morals & Dogma" - jego opus magnum i jedne z najlepszych dark ambientów, jakie kiedykolwiek dane było mi słyszeć.
