Unsound Festival 2010 — 23.10.2010 (Saturday)

Abattoir Fermé & Miasmah present "The Pretty One", with Kreng
Kreng releases darkly disturbing music on Norwegian label Miasmah in 2009. This is the international sneak preview of a work by controversial Belgian theatre company Abattoir Fermé, to present Kreng's music live, a neo-gothic ghost story on the line between concert, film and performance. Inspired by Leslie Van Houten, former beauty queen and Manson gang member.

The No Fun House of Horror, co-presented with No Fun, Brooklyn
Artists working with noise, drones and creepy sounds, punctuated by moments of strange beauty. Assembled with Carlos Gifoni, mastermind behind the No Fun festival and label, the showcase includes his own pulsating sound sculptures and the fuzzed out ambience of Brooklyn-based multi-media artist Noveller. Norway's Hild Sofie teams up Poland's Anna Zaradny for a special one-off collaboration.

Fragments of Fear
Dario Argento's 70's slasher film Suspiria wouldn't have been the same without Goblin's twisted, eerie soundtrack. The legendary Italian band performs with a Norwegian visual artist, drawing on Argento's movies. US band Emeralds support, using anaolog synth and guitar to create enveloping waves of sound. UK Crate diggers Joel Martin and Cherry Stones set the mood with obscure horror soundtracks.

Bass Mutations
2 rooms of Bass Mutations, exploring music that's emerged from the genre formerly known as dubstep. Room 1 presents the way bass music is mutating the subtler, more introspective aspects of the dance floor, as well as banging hybrid forms. Room 2 is presented with The Index, a new label from Dave Q (of NYC's Dub War) and Badawi, largely with a darker, more experimental tone.
