Hashtag Ensemble

An electronic bill at ICA London, staged as part of the venue's partnership with Unsound Festival, bringing together Visible Cloaks, Hashtag Ensemble, Heinali, Giant Claw and Julek Ploski.

The bill is the second night of ICA's partnership with Unsound Festival. Portland duo Visible Cloaks join Poland's Hashtag Ensemble to perform special live versions of Paradessence, an album inspired by kankyō ongaku, a Japanese environmental music style.

Ukrainian artists Heinali and Andriana-Yaroslava Saienko make their UK debut with Гільдеґарда, their reworkings of compositions by Hildegard von Bingen. The work combines modular synthesiser and voice with medieval and Ukrainian folk elements, and it was released on the Unsound label.

Giant Claw, an American electronic musician active since 2010, joins Warsaw-based Julek Ploski for CONTROL FREAK, an exclusive commission for Unsound's audiovisual strand. Giant Claw's first album, All Monsters Attack, appeared the same year the project began.
