Unsound Adelaide Announces Hectic 2017 Line-up Of Electronic & Experimental Music

Unsound Adelaide makes its debut as a standalone festival this year, and it's looking to make a heck of an opening statement with the revelation of the line-up of acts set to bring their electronic and experimental talents to South Australia in November.

The event will feature two world premieres, 15 Australian premieres and 13 Australian exclusive performances among the ranks, which include acts from all over the world such as US artists Holly Herndon, Wolf Eyes, Aurora Halal, Pharmakon and more; European imports N.M.O, Porter Ricks, Errorsmith, Bill Kouligas and Amnesia Scanner, among others; and local artists Ambarchi/Abrahams/Avenaim, plus Sacrifices, Bby Angel and Rosa Maria playing in a three-way back-to-back spectacular for club-turned-label Club Sync, Melbourne producer Corin and Robin Fox premiering new show Euclidean Drone.

"I'm absolutely delighted that Unsound Adelaide is back as a standalone festival," co-director David Sefton told The Music.

"After four extremely successful iterations brought to Adelaide in collaboration with our Unsound partners in Kraków in the four Adelaide Festivals I directed, it was clear that a loyal and enthusiastic audience were really keen to see it return — I'm very happy that we can make it a reality.

"The line-up we are announcing today is the largest, strongest and boldest yet with the addition of club nights, sound art installations and a talks program.

"Unsound is a major addition to the artistic landscape of South Australia and the whole of Australia — a new annual festival of boldly programmed electronic and experimental music — it's very exciting."

The details for the talks program will be announced in the coming weeks. Tickets for the musical offerings are available now through the event's website.

Unsound Adelaide 2017, proudly supported by The Music, will be held from Thursday 16 to Sunday 19 November.
