Ultrademon
Musical artist
Lilium Redwine, known by her recording alias Ultrademon, is an American experimental electronic musician.
01Career
Ultrademon released her debut album (titled Seapunk) via Aphex Twin's Rephlex Records in 2013, followed by a Japanese re-release in the same year. This album popularized the eponymous Seapunk aesthetic which saw some popularity in the mid-to-late 2010s.
In 2016, Redwine moved from Chicago to Tokyo, later moving to Kyoto in April of 2019.
With the release of 2019's Chamber Music, Redwine's style took a turn towards experimental, deconstructed club sound. This album as well as the subsequent æði (2022) and Crone (2024) carry a distinct "medieval" sound with gothic and black metal inspired sound and samples taken from nature or swordfighting. In a 2019 interview with Bandcamp she stated: “If you’re comparing it to the [other] Ultrademon work I put out,” she continues, “[Chamber Music] is stepping away from any sort of idea of it being club music. I would say was that why it’s so personal. It covers a period and time in my life where I felt like I was in the middle of a bunch of warring factions, and it invoked this sort of feudalism. It felt like I was in the middle of the battle, and it kind of evoked this neo-gothic, Baroque landscape.”
Currently, Redwine's Bandcamp page states she is living in Berlin, Germany but it is unclear when she made this move.
