November 17th, 2004:
At last! The non-profit Association ULTRABOLIC is officially created with
the aim of producing and promoting musical events and creations, in particular
Hubert Dupont's projects.
This one-person association (so far!) will support the singular approach
of this composer, improviser, producer, handyman …
Hubert Dupont is an activist who co-founded Hask Collective in 1993, creating
and consolidating its structure, using it and feeding it with his projects
(Kartet, which is a collective project, then Altissimo and Decor... and
many other festivities more or less linked to the club 'Les Instants Chavirés').
Hask has now been disbanded but the adventure continues!
ULTRABOLIC was also founded with the undisguised intention of shaking
up the audience through recordings and live concerts (everywhere!) and
by offering events to local audiences, on both sides of the Paris Ring
Road.
