Goofily deformed, deeply thought vocal jams: like the sound of your own breath rushing through your head.

For day two of Ultra-red’s project, the investigation will take up protocols for listening to the sound of freedom composed and facilitated by the Vogue’ology collective.

A sound diffusion piece by Glasgow University’s Musica Electronica, and a further selection of electroacoustic performances.
Freeform Super 8mm documentation of Sunday at Instal 06 by filmmaker Matt Hulse.
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.
