Osmium and Robin Fox's TRIPTYCH

Continuing a decade-long relationship, Poland’s adventurous annual Unsound Festival returns to NYC with a new genre-defying, risk-taking project, Osmium. Comprised of four wildly successful band members—Oscar Award-winning composer and cellist Hildur Guðnadóttir, best known for her work on the scores of HBO's Chernobyl series and 2019's Joker; Grammy Award-winning British sound designer and producer Sam Slater; Subtext boss and genre-hopping scene producer James Ginzburg (half of industrial-experimental duo Emptyset); and idiosyncratic Indonesian vocalist Rully Shabara, of Senyawa—Osmium’s unique sound is attributed to specially built instruments that create surprising and hypnotic music that strikes a balance between the mechanical and the organic. Robin Fox—making his first solo A/V laser performance in the U.S.—opens the evening with his stunning audio-visual work TRIPTYCH, which uses full-color lasers to transform Alice Tully Hall into a thrilling new environment. Inspired by Polish A/V innovator Stanislaus Ostoja-Kotkowski, TRIPTYCH recently won this year’s Isao Tomita Special Prize from the Prix Ars Electronica.
