Ultra Red
Founded
in 1994, Ultra-red are audio activists
producing radio broadcasts, performances, recordings, installations
and public actions, or public space occupations (PS/o). The group's
work radicalizes the conventions of electro-acoustic and ambient music
to explore acoustic space as enunciative of social relations.
With a fluid membership determined by collaborations between electronic
musicians and grass-roots political groups, Ultra-red has developed
projects around a variety of urban ambiences including needle exchange
(Soundtrax, 1996), public sex (Second Nature, 1999), public housing
(Structural Adjustments, 2000), issues around globalization (Value
System, work in progress) and labor.
Ultra-red
have released CDs and albums on Comatonse Recordings in Oakland, California
and Mille Plateauxin Frankfurt, Germany.
