Unsound London: Lorenzo Senni, RP Boo and Gary Gwadera, Aleksandra Słyż

A night of live performances at the ICA in London, part of the Unsound London programme, bringing together electronic music, footwork dance and Polish folk traditions. It is the first of several nights of the Unsound takeover at the venue.

Lorenzo Senni, an Italian music producer born in Cesena in 1983 and active since 2007, presents a new live show. His label is Warp, and his debut album, Early Works, came out in 2008. Alongside him, RP Boo, an electronic musician, producer and DJ working in the footwork genre and active since 1997, joins percussionist Gary Gwadera to explore the meeting point between Chicago bass and the Polish oberek.

RP Boo's first album, Legacy, was released in 2013. The performance includes Polish folk dancers Maria Stępień and Andrzej Józefczyk, and Chicago footwork dancers Tiger and Martina Lieskovska, so the stage brings dance into the music.

The night also features the world premiere of Ruins by Aleksandra Słyż, a Polish composer and sound artist born in 1995 in Ełk. Her work is rooted in composition and sound art, and Ruins is a research-based project that draws fragments of the past into the present. The ICA London hosts concerts across the city, and this show is presented with Tropical Waste.
