The best curated musical festival and most courageous started yesterday with the amazing act of Iran’s Sote in Polland’s Krakow. Ata Etbekar brought a vision of solidarity to this year’s Unsound: blending the new and the old, the analog with digital: the Persian folklore instruments, namely Tar and Lute, with various versions of their electronic elaborated synthesized counterparts. The beauty of Sote is also the flagship Zabte Sote label, the academic artifacts of Ata Etbekar, who teaches, leads and builds a new generation of Iranian composers in the field of electronic experimentalism.

"Tonal Transfigurations" dwelves into the industrial music, drones, noise, modularism, IDM, spectral and hyperspectral and other types of obsessive music. Some of these are born into music research institutes, thus the case of spectralism explored within the "Ciprian Porumbescu" institute in Romania or other timbre altering research stories from IRCAM in Paris or the Tape Music Centre in San Francisco; some of the unheard music is celebrated within versatile festivals such as Atonal, CTM, Terraforma and Unsound.

This year's Unsound thema is "Flower Power" a counterculture exercise which honors topics related to main humanity spaces of interaction: time, nature, (a)social media, technology and drugs. All in the slightly dark spirit of Unsound: a world of bliss and pain that curates on the edge music, visual art, philosophy and movies.  Mat Schulz is the artistic director and co-founder of the festival that has transformed again Krakow's venues in a hub of on the edge performances and installations.
