  • Polish festival Unsound has revealed first details of its 2013 edition, which will take place October 13th through 20th in Krakow. The annual event is renowned for its adventurous and experimental lineups, which generally include a range of specially commissioned collaborations, live shows and other projects. This year sees Robert Henke, AKA Monolake, present his Lumiere live show for the first time, while Polish artist Stefan Wesolowski will launch his Liebestod album. There are also several Polish premieres, with Earth, Karenn, seminal dub techno outfit Porter Ricks, Tropic Of Cancer, Pharmakon and Golden Pudel resident Helena Hauff all performing in the country for the first time. Footwork artist RP Boo will make his European debut. Other acts announced include DJ Qu, Fire!, King Midas Sound and Stellar OM Source, who recently spoke to RA about her album for RVNG. Organisers say more names will be added to the bill in the coming weeks and months. Each year the festival has a theme, and in 2013 it will be Interference. As the organisers explain: "This relates to the physics of sound, including the overlay of varied sound waves and rhythms, distortion, disrupted audio, sonic disturbance, and the act of obstructing or impeding. More than ever before, these elements are used in a wide range of contemporary music, from the developing noise scene to ever-evolving club music." Though Unsound's home remains in Poland, it is continuing to expand: earlier this year it held events in Adelaide, Australia, and there's also a London showcase planned for later in 2013.
