  • Unsound has revealed the first wave of acts to play its 2014 edition in Kraków, Poland. The festival will run from October 12th through 19th at venues across Kraków. This year's theme is "The Dream." "The Dream plays out on laptops used for work and leisure, in networked coffee shops, airports, international 'artistic enclaves' and nightclubs," organisers say. "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 lineup so far features Carter Tutti Void—the live trio of Chris Carter, Cosey Fanni Tutti and Nik Void—as well as Swans, Perc, Rrose, Evol, Ben Frost, Joey Anderson, TCF, Total Freedom, Deathprod and DJ Stingray. Ren Schofield, AKA Container, will perform with Norwegian drummers Kenneth Kapstad and Tomas Jahrmyr. Australian band The Necks will perform with Austria's Radian, while Ksiezyc and Zamilska make up the Polish contingent. Unsound will also host an installation for Ephemera, its own brand of bass, noise and drone-inspired perfume. Tim Hecker, Ben Frost and Kode9 will take care of the music, while Geza Schoen controlls the scent and Marcel Weber and Optigram handle the visuals. More names will be added to Unsound's bill over the coming weeks and months.
