The Man with the Golden Ear is an award given by the Soundedit Festival to artists of sound and tone, as well as directors of our musical experiences. The pantheon of figures who have received the statuette so far is joined by: Tadeusz Mieczkowski, Czesław Niemen (posthumously), Chris Thomas and Steve Lyon.

To write that Sunday (27 October) at the Soundedit Festival promises to be exciting would be an understatement. After nearly thirty years, the iconic The Wolfgang Press has been reactivated, the New Model Army will present a special set, Clan of Xymox will shroud the stage in darkness, and Juno Reactor will perform electrifying combination of techno and flamenco.

Christian Friedel, who played Rudolf Höss in Jonathan Glazer’s “The Zone of Interest” and leads the band Woods of Birnam, will visit Łódź in October (25-26 X 2024). He will be a guest at two events in Łódź: the 15th Kamera Akcja Festival and the 16th Soundedit International Festival of Music Producers and Sound Designers.

On 28 October (Monday), an exceptional duo will perform in the Henryk Debich Concert Studio at Radio Łódź. Jules Maxwell is, among others, the keyboard player for the band Dead Can Dance, while Lina Rodrigues is a fado master gifted with a unique voice.

This is exactly what the Saturday concert line-up of the 16th edition of the Soundedit Festival looks like. On October 26, the following will perform at the Wytwórnia Club in Łódź: the incredibly sophisticated Nouvelle Vague, the hypnotizing melancholy duet Smolik // Kev Fox, and a special project – “Band On The Run – Live”

Friday (25 October) at the Festival will feature „Niemen – known and less known” concert – a project initiated by Czesław Niemen’s daughter Natalia. Also on that day, the popular duo Matylda/Łukasiewicz will perform on Wytwórnia’s club stage.
