Unsafe+Sounds, the annual Vienna-based festival, returns in September with a kaleidoscopic programme, offering a multifaceted view of contemporary music. Since 2015, the festival has been one of Austria’s most important international platforms for advanced experimental and electronic music. In its 12th edition, Unsafe+Sounds once again dedicates itself to forward-pushing artistic positions beyond the mainstream. Under this year’s theme, “The level sunlight still warms walls”, the festival turns toward the affective qualities of sound. This year’s edition circles around the return of feeling in the arts in a time of great emotional exhaustion. Over six festival days, around 50 international and local artists will appear at various locations across the city.
