Structured as a three-part work, the album traces a gradual transformation from virtuosic flute performance rooted in classical discipline to extended techniques, spoken language, and poetic reflection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the centre of \u003cem\u003eShade Zero\u003c\/em\u003e is an investigation into the relationship between freedom and rules in music-making. Rather than rejecting structure outright, Ultan constructed strict compositional systems for herself and then deliberately misused and dismantled them. By making these rules explicit — and then pushing against them — she sought to move beyond familiar sound worlds and inherited assumptions about what “free” music should be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlack vinyl version.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdagio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAllegro Moderato\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLargo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAndante\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAct I\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAct II\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHiding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeighbors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGod\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMemorial Day\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Kou Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54359481254234,"sku":"KOU009LP","price":34.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1481\/5374\/files\/taiga-ultan-shade-zero.jpg?v=1782402966","url":"https:\/\/freebirdrecords.com\/products\/taiga-ultan-shade-zero-vinyl","provider":"Freebird Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
