- Landing via Other People, the music was made over Zoom in September 2020.
The improvised WEAVINGS project, curated by Nicolás Jaar and Unsound, will be released in February.
Led by Jaar and commissioned by the Kraków festival in 2020, WEAVINGS invited artists around the world to collaborate on a real-time, improvisational drone piece over Zoom. Jaar invited Aho Ssan, Ka Baird, Angel Bat Dawid, Ellen Fullman, Dirar Kalash, Księżyc, Laraaji, Resina, Paweł Szamburski, Juliana Huxtable, Rolando Hernández Guzmán, Wukir Suryadi and Rully Shabara of Senyawa.
The artists recorded the work in one sitting on September 30th, 2020. Jaar then had 24 hours to mix it before premiering the results online at Unsound the next day. In 2021, a different set of 12 artists returned to the festival to play the WEAVINGS material live.
The music is now being jointly released by Unsound and Jaar's Other People label as a nine-track album. The first track was also included in the festival's Intermission compilation last year.
