TAG: Moritz Von Oswald Trio
As mentioned before in my previous post on Unsound, it’s a festival that is known for enticing its demographic with risks, rewards and thematic atmosphere. With the theme of horror being the crux of the whole weekly event, there was ways that anything and everything could go wrong. However, just when one would think the undertaking of layering an entire festival with a theme would turn out horrific (no pun intended), somehow the curtain comes down to show off something off-kilter yet preserved in its magnificence.

The announcement of Unsound Festival NY came very suddenly, and just as sudden was the wave of momentum provided by artists, promoters and media sponsors (like ourselves) alike.

With the ever-evolving Unsound Festival coming stateside for the first time (and of all places, New York), URB will be presenting a multitude of media in the coming days that will include exclusive unreleased MP3s, mixes and interviews from the artists who will make up the roster for Unsound Festival New York. To start with, analog-loving duo nsi. (Tobias Freund and Max Loderbauer) has been gracious enough to give us an unreleased track to put up. “Mont” is made up of ominous piano chords, analog ticking and open-mindedness. It’s minimalistic in nature but maximal in enjoyment.
nsi. will be performing in the intriguing and definitely hype-generating Warhol Series of Unsound, which will also include Detroit techno legend Carl Craig. For more info on the event, click HERE.

The debut from the Moritz Von Oswald Trio, Vertical Ascent, doesn't play any games with listeners. No funky lasers or Auto-tuned lyrics to hold onto. For longtime fans of electronic, dub, and techno, you're acclimated to the fundamental structure: however, for those brave newbies, Ascent May seem underwhelming. Or overwhelming for those trying to grasp it. First I thought, Oh, I'll have to really listen to this album because it doesn't get in my head. Instead, I will have to get inside of it and explore this musical landscape ...
