In 2024 Unsafe+Sounds is celebrating its ten-year jubilee! Almost 80 international and local artists and 30 speakers can be experienced in a total of nine days, on seven stages across the city.
Arena Kleine Halle
Morast live
Morast is the solo-project of Viennese artist and musician Moritz Morast, who is exploring the melting continuum of noise, deconstructed rhythms and free musical forms. Coming from a background as a designer of musical electronics and his activities in the Viennese free-improv-scene, Morast combines approaches from Avantgarde-electronics with the immediacy and unpredictability of hardcore improvisation. His live- performances are an intense and cathartic spectacle, guiding the listener through dense layers of noise, and introspective ambiences, cut up by shattering percussion and heavy metal distortion.
Susu Laroche live
Susu Laroche - an anagram of Chaos Lure Us - is a multidisciplinary artist and musician of Egyptian-French descent. Resembling a spiritualist séance, Laroche's musical performance is built from magickal, Dabke-inspired rhythms, droning post-psychedelic sounds and ritual singing. Lyrical references to Sci-Fi author Ursula K. Le Guin and the poetry of 19th century occultists serve as a contextual framework for her mystical universe - a hypnotizing, intermediate zone, fallen out of time and space.
Senyawa live
The Indonesian duo Senyawa enjoy cult status among their dedicated fan base. Situated somewhere between psychedelic rock, doom metal, free improvisation and ceremonial ritual, Rully Shabara and Wukir Suryadi transcend the common concert experience with their music. Suryadi uses self-made traditional instruments, above all the sound of the bambuwakir, an Indonesian stringed instrument, to create their mystical sound. Shabara’s shamanistic voice on the other hand is covering various expressions, from metal growling to painfully beautiful singing.
Blood of Aza dj-set
Blood of Aza's productions and DJ sets are emotionally intense and resistant. She provides us with the noisiest pop-edits and the most disturbing post-internet tracks of the current SoundCloud underground. The UK artist began to gain prominence by releasing remixes of pop and rap idols. In the meantime even Aphex Twin is featuring her tracks in his sets. Blood of Aza has created a blissful sonic palette for herself, ranging from soothing MIDI lullaby magic and speaker-blowing club edits, to hell-raising ambient soundscapes.
Safety Trance dj-set
Enter the high-NRG world of Venezuelan producer Safety Trance aka Cardopusher ! Luis Garban, friend and collaborator of artists like Arca or Rosalía, is influenced by 90s rave culture and socialized in the underground clubs of his hometown Caracas. In his iconoclastic sets he is fusing rattling reggaeton with euphoric trance, Latin popsongs with oldschool hardcore anthems, and subversive breakcore tracks. They are embracing noise-driven disruptions and juggling raw energies to create an anarchic form of Latincore.
