A Performance exploring the nature of acousmatic listening; sound removed from visual context and understood for it’s own properties.

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.
Intriguing, underground, Berlin based musicians interested in the borders between music and theatre, language, the visual arts, politics.
