For day four of Ultra-red’s project, the investigation will take up protocols for listening to the sound of freedom composed and facilitated by Fred Moten.
A series of reality dramas happening over the course of the weekend.
A solo improvisation using just the situation of the concert: a space, a PA, Mattin’s own thoughts, you, the audience.

A silent collage of found film footage partially layered with computer graphics to provide a framework in which live music can develop.
Robin Hayward – exploring the micro-sounds of a tuba, filling slowly with sand.
