Practice Sessions: Ultra-red Part 2
“Hearing how sounds interact is as important in finding out the cause of the sound”
Listen to how the person speaks, as well as what the person says
From 5:19 there is a very important section describing Pierre Schaeffer’s theories on sound and the rejection of the active and passive listening binary**

This is a packet of PDFs for the Workbook 2: Five Protocols For Organized Listening of Ultra-Red's amazing collection of 9 workbooks. For more information about the printed copies of the workbooks CLICK HERE.
From Ultra-red:
"As part of Ultra-red’s twenty-year anniversary in 2014, the collective published nine workbooks detailing sound investigations conducted between 2010 and 2014. Since 1994, the international collective Ultra-red has launched militant sound investigations in social movements such as HIV/AIDS justice, housing, anti-racism, struggles of migration, radical education, and resistance to the war on the poor. The workbooks in this set range from short-term inquiries to long-term investigations drawing on years of work embedded in specific movements. Several workbooks analyze militant sound inquiry practices across multiple contexts. Each workbook includes links to online support media."
Leote Rec #67 – Ultra-red
Ultra-red are a sound art collective founded in 1994 by two AIDS activists. Originally based in Los Angeles, the collective has expanded over the years with members across North American and Europe. Members in Ultra-red range from artists, researchers and organizers from different social movements Including the struggles of migration, anti-racism, participatory community development, and the politics of HIV/AIDS. Although the group is unapologetic about its Leftist political commitments, the name Ultra-red apparently designates no affiliation with any specific political party or organization.

1. Slim Moon, "Chinchilla" from Won't You Dance With This Man? (1997, Kill Rock Stars) 2. Witchypoo, "Reaper Song" from Public Works (2000, 5RC) "We really believe in community - that hasn't changed at all. With 100 million households in the US and your average moderately successful underground band only selling somewhere between 2,000 and 10,000 records, the entire community of underground rock is pretty small. So I like to think of our 'nationwide community'... Making money isn't what it's about. Therefore we can care more about the artist or the music. We can care more about aesthetic and political considerations..." - Slim Moon
3. Autoclave, "I'll Take You Down" from Autoclave (1992, Dischord) 4. Helium, "Cosmic Rays" from The Magic City (1997, Matador) 5. Mary Timony, "Aging Astronauts II" from Everything Is Nice (1999, Matador) "I felt like if it wasn't going to be understood, then there was absolutely no point in doing it at all." - Mary Timony
6. Ultra-Red, "A17" from Split #14 (2002, FatCat) "The bottom line is that everything that we deal with is socially constructed, thus we should also be able to construct alternatives that work and deconstruct/demolish alternatives that work for people, not against them." - Leonardo Vilchis
7. The Explosion, "Sick Of Modern Art" from Sick Of Modern Art (2003, Tarantulas) "Kids go to shows like their parents go to cocktail parties - it's stupid. I mean, why not go see a band that has something to say? Why not go to a protest? Why not start a 'zine?" - Sam Cave
8. Erase Errata, "Pass The Crimson" from Puppy Love (2007, Tomlab) "Experimentation and innovation within 'rock' music is still viewed largely as a male domain. This is highly ironic because so many innovators in the early punk/no-wave scenes (from the Slits to the Y-Pants) were women, and there are also plenty of women exploding musical preconceptions and messing with form today. We are conscious of aligning ourselves with that tradition, and wish to make our presence known in that way within both girl-centered and boy-dominated scenes." - Erase Errata
9. Refused, "L-182" from Encapsulated (2000, Doghouse)
10. Bassnectar, "Intro" (featuring Noam Chomsky) from Mesmerizing The Ultra (2005, Organic)
