Description

Following their acclaimed show at this year’s Ephemera Festival in Warsaw, as well as the release of an album, GHSTING comes to Unsound. Created by Polish sound artist Aleksandra Słyż and performance artist Alex Freiheit (half of SIKSA), this unique work blends concert, performance, theatre, spoken word, all set within the backdrop of a sinister Eastern Europe hotel. They will be joined by dancers Pola Nikiel and Katarzyna Sikora and lighting designer Jacqueline Sobiszewski.


The Providenza Ensemble – a commission from Warp and presented with Carhartt WIP – brings together Kelman Duran, Loraine James and Puce Mary. Together, they will embark on a week-long residency in the Corsican mountains at Providenza with Manchester Collective director, composer and violinist Rakhi Singh. Their aim is to create a work that merges non-classical artists with the classical world, tonight presented with Kraków’s Sinfonietta Cracovia, the acclaimed string ensemble connected to Unsound for more than 15 years.


Trading the cellos and violins for electric guitars, we close the night with a bang courtesy of New York experimental rock outfit YHWH Nailgun, who’ve been making waves with their outstanding AD93 album 45 Pounds and their explosive live performances.
