Where we join Nackt Insecten’s disembodied spectral howls and heavyweight locomotive drones about SPT’s Subway.

What does it mean to listen with the mind as well as the ears? A solo performance from the great avant-garde pianist.
A cinema of the mind, a film to take place in the viewers’ imagination(s).
For day five of Ultra-red’s project, the investigation will review the previous work undertaken together, and perhaps draw up a summary of reflections and pose some future questions.

Julius Eastman’s Evil Nigger for 4 pianos performed by Joe Kubera, Kate Thompson, David Murray, Alan Fearon and Simon Passmore.

Tormented and drawn-out high-pitched yelps and drones, all interleaved with periods of torpid silence.
