UNSOUND FESTIVAL NEW YORK
Since 2003, Unsound Festival, Poland's most adventurous music festival, has brought a bold and uniquely modern program of music to Kraków. Now, with seven festivals in its native city under their belt (and outpost events further east in cities like Minsk), Unsound is coming west to New York for its first ever North American edition, taking place over the course of ten days starting on Thursday, February 4, 2010.
The hub of the festival’s panel discussions, presentations, and workshops is the Goethe-Institut Wyoming Building. The series of panels and workshops taking place at Unsound Festival New York will be aimed at creating a context of discussion around music and sound cultures. It is an essential, extensive part of the project, and completely free.
Sunday 02/07 (2pm) -- Panel discussion on Music Journalism
What does it mean to write well about music? A panel of working music journalists discusses issues related to the art of music-writing, as well as the changing practice of covering music in an eclectic and diversified world. When so much is available globally, how does one search for the new?
Andy Battaglia and Simon Reynolds lead a discussion with other working writers in the field. Further details on festival website.
The Goethe-Institut Wyoming Building will host other panel discussions, presentations, workshops and screenings in conjunction with Unsound Festival New York. For a complete and updated festival program please visit the Unsound website.
