Chuquimamani-Condori

Warsaw composer and musician Piotr Kurek’s acclaimed LP Smartwoods is a sprawling root system of tiny melodic phrases that loop around subtly evolving instrumental thickets. Kurek takes his cues from early music, baroque, and experimental jazz, entangling his influences with filigree traces of contemporary computer audio. Structured in seven distinct segments, the album blurs its acoustic and electronic elements into an illusory hedge of abstract sound. Kurek will perform his set with local musicians—Rebecca El-Saleh, Nathan Bellott, and Henry Fraser—on synths, guitar, bass, wind instruments and harp, with each player delicately intertwined into the Smartwoods.

Following is Chuquimamani-Condor, a multi-disciplinary artist and musician. On their last album, 2023's DJ E, they drew on the traditional drum and ceremonial music of their Pakajaqueño family, fusing vivid, acerbic synths with Andean flutes and the cacophonous rhythms of the Aymara people. This show marks their return to Unsound New York and the Atrium, following their show as Elysia Crampton in 2016.

An opening prelude to the live concerts comes in the form of Êkhos, by Mariusz Szypura. Êkhos translates as “noise” in ancient Greek, and this 25-minute audio-video 3D installation and synesthetic experience strives to put the audience in a state where, as Szypura says, “we start to see the music and hear the visuals”.
