Continuing a decade-long relationship, Unsound Festival returns to Lincoln Center with Ego Death, a collaboration between French electronic artist Aho Ssan (aka Niamké Désiré) and the Polish composer/cellist Resina (aka Karolina Rec). The duo first met as contributors to Nicolás Jaar's Weavings and quickly discovered a powerful musical connection, developed further with Unsound. Pitchfork says Aho Ssan's sonic art "feels like a snapshot of something being torn at the molecular level," while Quietus lauds Resina's "evocative sound-world... moving from dreamily luminous to unnervingly dark." Together, these two cutting-edge creators have created a confrontational, complex and entrancing soundscape for this U.S. premiere at the David Rubenstein Atrium.

Opening is Polish experimental vocalist Antonina Nowacka, whose voice Pitchfork described as “a lone organism carving a languid path.” In her work she explores an interest in the nature of sound, particularly its effect on the nervous system, as well as the ways that music can put the performer and audience in a specific state of mind.

This event is presented with the Polish Cultural Institute New York and the Trust for Mutual Understanding, in partnership with Adam Mickiewicz Institute and Pioneer Works.
