UNPOP, or “Unpopular Music”, is an 8-channel listening environment installation created by Scott Smallwood and Stephan Moore for Burning Man festival. 2024 marked the 4th UNPOP installation at Burning Man, after installations at the 2018, 2019, and 2022 festivals. UNPOP features exquisite, detailed sound works, including field recordings, abstract electroacoustic music, ambient textures, and other non-beat-oriented sonic experiences. As of 2024, the UNPOP library consists of 145 compositions, composed by 106 different composers, artists, or groups from all over the world.

UNPOP Redux is a version of the installation created for conventional sound art gallery spaces. This edition features a curated selection of pieces from the UNPOP library. Each day of the week features a unique selection of pieces. Feel free to spend as much time in the space as you’d like – sit and listen, study, read, nap, or just hang out!
