Autumn cultural programs are being rebuilt, including Poland’s most prestigious music festival: Unsound in Krakow. Its creators talk about amazing twists in the history of the event.
The “zero” edition took place in the Australian town of Wagga Wagga, where Mat Schulz, later founder of the Unsound Festival in Krakow, was born. The first Polish edition was, in turn, a financial disaster. – I don’t remember at all why we decided to do the second one Schulz says today.
Australian artists will link this tradition with the present: Oren Ambarchi and Robin Fox performed Wagga Wagga and will return at the next jubilee edition, which will take place in Krakow from October 9 under the slogan “Bubbles”, as ” bubbles” or “bubbles”. The meaning of this slogan is explained by Małgorzata Płysa, who co-created the festival for several years, appreciated by the world press and present at external editions, incl. in New York and London. Although, as its organizers point out, to get noticed in the West, sometimes you have to go East first. And this situation of being a point of correspondence between the two directions turned out to be – as Płysa puts it – “the foundation of the idea of Unsound, which is still present today, as it returns in a very timely conversation on Eastern and Western Europe.” In a conversation led by Bartek Chaciński, one even finds out who will perform in the future at the 30th edition of the festival.
