Scott Wilson outlines some of the many highlights of last week’s Unsound festival in Krakow. When the organisers of the Krakow-based Unsound festival announced earlier this year that part of the festival’s “Interference” theme was going to be to ban all photography, the shocked reaction from some quarters seemed surprising.
Surely this should just be a given? The pervading nature of photography, thorough cameras and phones alike, has been ruining live musical experiences for years, and the overriding memory of this festival for many will be the sense of freedom offered by that. Although the odd picture was taken when the alcohol consumption had rendered certain inhibitions somewhat compromised, for the most part cameras were absent, and full attention could be placed on the music (hence the variety of sketches by attendees which adorn this page).

In each issue of our print magazine, we visit various cities around the world, speaking with residents and getting their stories. Coinciding with the city’s annual Unsound festival, we present a portrait of Krakow from its own residents, originally printed in our Fall, 2011 issue. Since the fall of the Iron Curtain, Krakow has earned an international reputation as the epicenter of cultural life in Poland—thanks in no small part to generous public funding and, bizarrely, the success of Steven Spielberg’s Schindler’s List. Over the past fifteen years, the city has rediscovered its Jewish and bohemian identities; while the former Jewish quarter of Kazimierz is now teeming with jazz clubs, cafes and reconstructed relics of Jewish culture, the city as a whole has become an amalgam of a dark past and bright future. 07:15: Coffee at KOLORY cafe, ul. estery 10, Kazimierz Radek Szczesniak, PR and Programming for Unsound Festival 08:30: Auschwitz Tour, Michalowskiego 11, Old Town Sprzymierzeni Crew.
Unsound London in review. Ahead of Unsound’s Krakow event, we dispatched Josh Hall to take in the festival’s London debut which was spread across venues in the capital on the final weekend of September. Unsound has rapidly become one of the most important events in the experimental music calendar. The Krakow festival is known for its combination of well-loved international acts and artists that are yet to become known outside Poland, as well as for the careful attention paid to venue choice and production. According to Unsound the biggest non-Polish audience for the festival comes from the UK, and it therefore seems like good sense to expand their international franchise in London, with a series of events set across five days and held in venues ranging from the painfully established to the virtually unknown.
Unsound London’s opening event is held at the BFI, a warren-like building set beneath Waterloo Bridge. Perhaps the most anticipated show of the festival, though, is also the least productive.

Watch a documentary about the Warehouse Project. As EDM Blows Up, Festivals Burrow Underground. New Forms Festival 2013 in Vancouver. Photo by Scott Kaplan. Signs of a booming industry are everywhere: media conglomerates are snapping up EDM bacchanals as worthy investments, Vegas clubs are competing over top dogs like Calvin Harris and Tiesto, and a handful of record selectors are pulling major league paydays. Yet, in the face of this rising neon wave, I feel only... irrelevence. I still remember going to the first Identity Festival in 2011, which featured artists like, um, The Disco Biscuits, and was held outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in a “big shed” venue typically reserved for rock dinosaurs padding their retirement accounts.
Climbing over a grassy knoll, I encountered a morass of 50-foot high inflatable cans and “Sex Drugs and Dubstep” shirts. Thousands of kids in stunna shades went hyphy while Datsik steered the crowd through drop after pummeling drop. Ital at Unsound 2012's Bunker event in NYC. A captivated audience at New Forms 2013.
