“One can only arrive at the experience of the transcendental – if it is reached at all – when one is oneself in a position of un-knowing, that is, of humility; namely, while remaining in the world of technê he or she begins to venerate a certain kind of experience, acquires it, makes it one’s own, realizes it, sustains it, repeats it – without burdening its sense, its essence with its own great questions.” - László Krasznahorkai, “The Acropolis in Sunglasses”

We are Non-Essential Workers (N.E.W.), a Central European synth trio and international production collective (US/UK/PL) whose mission is to synthesize the sights, sounds, events and emotions of our present tense and transform it into sonic art for the masses. 

We found our calling and took up our vocation in the earliest days of the pandemic. As the darkness washed over us, our collective values, priorities and understanding of what is truly essential came sharply into focus: 

Health is Essential.
Rights are Essential.
Work is Essential.
Art is Essential.
Music is Essential.

With these guiding principles in place, we have continued to experiment with sound and space at an ever increasing pace. Now, we are finally emerging from our self-imposed synth cave to share our synthesized soundscapes with the masses on stages and at discos, canteens, in factories, and speakeasies across Europe.

We are Non-Essential Workers, and it’s time to get to work…
