ACFNY SUPPORTED | CONCERT | UNSOUND FESTIVAL NEW YORK | BASS MUTATIONS | DORIAN CONCEPT
In New York and across America, music fans and the press alike embraced Unsound Festival New York 2010 as a refreshing addition to the city calendar. This year, one of the most promising acts of the Austrian electronic music scene, Dorian Concept, will perform – among other international artists – at The Bunker, Public Assembly.
Dorian Concept – also known as Oliver Thomas Johnson – has made a name for himself by playing memorable gigs in various clubs around the world. He is a welcome guest in prestigious international clubs; tours have even led him to Australia and China. With his complex mixes of breaks and abstract electronic sound patterns, he has built a reputation for himself in the electronic music scene. It is not easy to classify Dorian Concept into one particular category. Detached from any fixed musical standards, Dorian Concept combines electronics with jazz, hip-hop and jungle in a new manner, highlights straight bass drums with interlaced jazz, and at the same time performs and improvises on his synthesizer with virtuosity.
“…the purpose of the Unsound Festival is to repel the baseless, spectacle-heavy notion that only a few states in the U.S. and a few countries in Western Europe are capable of making great, weird music that is riveting, outrageous, and thought-provoking.” – Village Voice
Unsound Festival New York 2011 will take place from April 6 – 10 in various venues in the city. For further information and updates, please visit www.unsound.pl
