A series of reality dramas happening over the course of the weekend.
Sonic ‘observations’ of the world, through micro recordings on a tiny scale and transformed into something musically compelling.
Life and death dramas unfold in the snowy American North, using three-screen documentary footage and a soundtrack by KYTN favourite, vocalist Daniel Menche.

One of the great experimental films. A 60 minute, three part riddle that maybe approximates our intellectual development by moving from imageless words to the recognition of silent images and the learning of simple tasks and finally a serenity and acceptance of death.
Renouncing the bind of the written word, Chopin’s sound poetry is a magical evocation of the pure powers of the voices, stripped bare of language.
Wordless, reverb drenched voice, ghosted electronics, seething and ferocious electronic damage and Patty Waters style vocal mania.
One of the most influential groups in improvised music, with the collective understanding that comes from listening keenly to each other for decades

Koji Asano, Japanese composer and sound-artist performing slow groaning burbling tones, moaning echoes and drones.
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.
