To become is to resist the fixed, to morph, to evolve, to unfold — to exist in a state of continual change, where identities, bodies, and rhythms are kept in flux. In chronopolitical terms, becoming refuses the linear progress narrative, moving instead through loops, and transformations. Shifting forms, and opening portals to states that are at once ecstatic, and collective.

A phase shift marks the moment when two waveforms slip out of or on the contrary fall into sync. In time, it’s the threshold where one state becomes another, where change is not gradual but abrupt, and perception recalibrates. Tonight’s line-up activates that idea across club rhythms, experimental electronics, and diasporic sonic storytelling, turning the dancefloor into a multiverse of temporal warps and altered trajectories.

The speed of light is a measure of the ultimate forward rush; back hereafter is the pull of return. Together they sketch a paradox: movement so fast it loops back into memory, futurism tangled with debris of the past. This evening assembles artists who bend chronology.

Time infolding - unsafe+sounds festival

Time Infolding is about streams and flows, of consciousness, of sound and of time. Collapsing the distinction between pasts, present, and possible futures the invited artists guide us into layered realities. Here, time is not a straight line but a fabric that can be folded, and rewoven. Each performance offers a different cosmos, from political memory to intimate reflection.

Thursdays
September 4, 2025
Start
8:30 PM
Tania Fuchs, also known under the alias Abu Gabi, lives in Vienna and is a composer, performer, and DJ. A progressive force operating between electroacoustic noise and radical bass music, Fuchs pricks the wounds of the so-called “avant-garde” as well as outdated pop and club clichés. Her pointedly raw live shows explore personal and sociopolitical texts in fragile to distorted vocal textures and drones, deconstructed beat socialization, and cathartically empowering improvisation. A similar approach is evident in Fuchs’ DJ sets: relentlessly captivating, it’s about collective intensity and nothing less than the final death of the genre concept.

Lucid Ghosts - unsafe+sounds festival
2025-09-03 16:00 - 22:00 | WUK – Werkstätten‑ und Kulturhaus, Währinger Straße 59, Wien, 1090, Austria
ifk, 16:00-18:00 —Exhibition Opening “Past Tense”, introduction by curator Brooklyn Pakathi
WUK Projektraum, 18:00-22:00
⟢ Programme: LUCID GHOSTS
18:00—Kampan
19:00—rogine
20:00—Gajek
21:00—Ludwig Wandinger feat. Yves B. Golden
Lucid Ghosts lingers in the temporal afterglow — the phantoms that persist after events have faded. The night presents sonic memories that flicker between personal experience and collective history. We move through politics of memory: how histories are preserved, or rewritten, and how sound can turn ghosts audible.

Collapsed Star – unsafe+sound festival
2025-09-02 19:00 - 23:00 | AIL, Georg‑Coch‑Platz 2, Wien, Wien, 1010, Austria

20:00—HxH
21:00—ROTOЯ – SONIC BODY
22:00—Rosa Anschütz
A collapsed star is a paradox of time: both an ending and a continuation, a remnant of the past but still to be perceived in the present. It’s a marker of time’s vast scale. The opening concerts explore sound as living archive and temporal experiment, folding together the microscopic and the cosmic, the intimate and the infinite.

VIO: so Thetys could nourish
2025-08-30 18:30 - 20:00 | Semmelweisklinik, Hockegasse 37 Haus 4, Wien, 1180, Austria
The Vienna Improvisers Orchestra (VIO), founded by Michael Fischer in 2004, is one of the world’s most long-standing improvisation orchestras. The VIO’s unique approach, known as “instant composition conducting,” involves creating complex improvised music for large ensembles in real-time. This method is an evolution of Butch Morris’s “Conduction” technique, which uses hand signs to guide the ensemble. The VIO’s instant compositions are characterized by several key principles:

Ad Hoc Creation: The music is created spontaneously by both the conductor and the musicians, with no pre-planned structures or parts.
Minimal Rehearsal: The ensemble only has a brief run-through of the hand signs before a performance.
Long, Narrative Pieces: The compositions are typically lengthy, lasting between 35 and 50 minutes.
Rotating Ensemble: A new group of musicians performs at each concert, often including at least one new member.

The orchestra has performed at major international festivals and venues, including the Moers Festival in Germany, Wien Modern, and Porgy & Bess in Vienna. They have also appeared at prominent art institutions like Belvedere21 and Künstlerhaus Wien.
Michael Fischer, the VIO’s artistic director, is a tenor saxophone and “feedback saxophone” player, as well as a soundscape composer. As a conductor, he has led improvising orchestras and large ensembles at institutions and festivals worldwide, including Johns Hopkins University, the University of California Irvine, and the Creative Music Festival in Japan.

NENDA
2025-08-20 20:30 - 22:00 | WUK – Werkstätten‑ und Kulturhaus, Währinger Straße 59, Wien, 1090, Austria
WUK-Platzkonzert
Die Tiroler Musikerin und Rapperin Nenda ist mixed race und hat ihre Heimat, das Ötztal, laut dem Text zu „Mixed Feelings“ verlassen, weil sie dort zu oft gefragt wurde, ob sie denn Deutsch verstehe. Heute lebt Nenda in London und widmet ihre Debütsingle dem Thema Alltagsrassismus: „too white, not black enough“ (und umgekehrt), heißt es in den Lyrics und auch: „Österreich, ist das das mit den Kängurus?“ Eine super-funky und auch lustige Nummer über all die Fragen und Verwirrungen, denen Nenda sich im Alltag ausgesetzt sieht, in UK ebenso wie in Österreich, gesungen und gerappt im Sprachenmix aus Englisch und Tirolerisch.

Kasho Chualan
2025-08-19 20:30 - 22:00 | WUK – Werkstätten‑ und Kulturhaus, Währinger Straße 59, Wien, 1090, Austria
WUK-Platzkonzert
Kasho Chualan ist eine kurdisch-kanadische Pianistin, Komponistin und multidisziplinäre Klangkünstlerin mit Lebensmittelpunkt in Wien. In ihrem Schaffen erkundet sie unermüdlich die Grenzen des Hörbaren – mit erweiterten Spieltechniken, präpariertem Klavier, Elektronik, Spielzeugen und Tonbandmaterial. Ihre Klangsuche führt sie auf ungewöhnlichen Wegen: Sie manipuliert Resonanzkörper, löst sich von tradierten Spielweisen und stellt gängige Vorstellungen davon infrage, was ein Instrument ist – und sein darf. Ihre Kompositionen und Performances sind getragen von Grenzauflösungen, Körperlichkeit, experimenteller Improvisation und zwischenmenschlichen Konfrontation.
