Red Bull Arts NY and ISSUE co-present two live audio-visual performances organized in response to Gretchen Bender’s unfinished work of media theater, which was to be entitled So Much Deathless, by post-industrial band Black Rain (with Philip Vanderhyden) & Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith (with Sean Hellfritsch).
Unsound LABs concerts feature collaborations between musicians of different kinds working together for the first time in a series of unique free performances. Curated to cross borders of both sound and geography, this year’s program pairs artists from Eastern Europe and Scandinavia with musicians from the U.S.
Right off the bat, from its first outing in February 2010, Unsound Festival New York has established itself with fans and critics as essential New York culture. Unsound Festival New York embraces a range of genres from contemporary classical music to post-industrial sounds to black metal to new directions in bass.
