The opening night of Unsound London brings together two commissioned projects, connecting artists from Poland, the UK and US through the Unsound label.

The first project features LA-based artist claire rousay, who in 2024 spent a week in a secluded village in the Polish countryside with Kraków composer and musician Martyna Basta. Their time together resulted in hotel room. The performance moves through loose fragments, autotuned vocals and long atmospheric passages, with visuals by German artist Theresa Baumgartner.

The second brings together Polish experimental producer 2K88 with Manchester-based Rainy Miller and UK dancer and producer Bianca Scout. Miller’s music combines drill, folk music and industrial noise in what he calls “Northern Gothic”, while Scout’s work draws on surreal, narrative-led performance. The show also features recorded vocals by London-based artist Lauren Duffus. It follows the release of the album Everything Always Changes, For We’re Truly Here.
