IR releases have focussed on issues of social injustice .IR1 was recorded on location in the brasilian jungle with the krikati indians who were fighting for land demarcation rights.IR3 featured members of the indigenous resistance movement for a free west papua.IR4 was a project of healing& reconcilliation among indigenous peoples of the Solomon islands.IR11 marked ten years since the tragic murder of the patoxo indian Galdino who was set on fire by the children of brasil's elite as a "joke". When Galdinos killers were back on the streets after recieving light sentences and preferential treatment, IR created posters and t shirts that said"these bastards killed galdino " and listed their names.The resulting publicity drew attention back to the case. IR is a completely autonomous ,independent ,self sufficient entity who create their work using the motto of "minimum resources ,maximum cooperation" When the topics of recording were too controversial for the brasilian media and records stores to touch; IR created their own alternative distribution system with used vinyl record seller Zumbi distributing IR recordings through his hand drawn cart in the streets of Rio de Janeiro.IR through sheer necessity has pioneered ways to create music using email and filesharing as their to
