  • Unsound will be back in Adelaide on February 26th and 27th, 2016. This is the Polish festival's fourth appearance on the Adelaide Festival Of Arts programme. In 2016 it'll span two consecutive nights at Torrensville's Thebarton Theatre. Hyperdub head Kode9 will be premiering his new audiovisual show, while Alessandro Cortini plays his 2014 album, Sonno. Powell and Lorenzo Senni will perform an Unsound-commissioned collaborative work. Mogwai bassist Barry Burns will share the stage with French producer Kangding Ray, who also appears in solo mode. The remainder of the bill includes hard-hitting techno from Paula Temple and drone compositions from Johan Johannson and Adelaide's Zephyr Quartet. Adelaide Festival Of Arts, the overarching event that encompasses Unsound Adelaide, will run from February 26th through March 14th. The wider musical programme inludes Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Sufjan Stevens, Sunn O))) and Magma, while Ilan Volkov will present his acclaimed Tectonics concert across two nights at Adelaide Town Hall.
