Join us for an evening of audio - visual ambience, and sink into the the soundscapes of…

Serpent Dream
Serpent Dream exists between the worlds of music and sound art, infusing soundscapes with melancholic acoustic melodies, hypnotic percussion, drones, and twisted vocals ranging from ethereal layers to guttural intensities, forming an equally beautiful and terrifying sonic world.

Aotūroa
 Having established himself as one of Aotearoa's leading drummers performing with the likes of dDub, Corrella and in New Zealand's premier percussion ensemble Strike! Percussion, Tom Scrase is forging a new path in under the moniker Aotūroa. Creating sound design for dance, film and installation, this creative outlet sees elements of ambient, textural soundscapes blended with complex and hypnotic rhythms, Taonga Pūoro and field recordings. Dense and challenging, these sounds are manipulated while retaining the primal sense of connection that permeates Aotūroa's music.

P-LAB: Rosie Whinray Exhibition Artist Talk

A black and white photo of Rosie Whinray. She walks carefully, one foot at a time along the rocks of a stoney beach. There is a hill cascading down into the sea on the right, off into the distance. The photo is likely taken along the south coast in Wellington, where Rosie collected much of the material for her Pyramid Club exhibition. It is a bright day with few, small clouds.

Artist Rosie Whinray will host an interactive talk related to her Pyramid Club exhibition about ways of looking, personal relationship to place, the practice of finding, and how it relates to other forms of pattern recognition and storytelling.
