Top Wines Tasting

Events

The Auricle Sonic Arts Gallery
7pm Thursday 28th April
Fully booked!
Facebook event

We’re going out with a bang for the last tasting at The Auricle Wine & Sound Bar and celebrating with some of the best wines of the year. On the eve of her annual Viva Top 50 Wines in the New Zealand Herald, Viva wine editor, Jo Burzynska will be sharing some of the bottles she’s lost her head over in the past 12 months! These range from some rare top bottles to more everyday drops that have really impressed.

For those who would like to stay on, the tutored tasting will be followed by a short wine and music matching workshop in which Jo will share the principles of making perfect sonic pairings.

The cost of the tasting is just $40. Booking is essential via Jo at jo@joburzynska.com

Drone Wars

Events

Drone-skyThe Auricle Sonic Arts Gallery
Saturday, 23rd April 2016
From 8pm
Facebook event

Drone music/noise is constant imperceptible change, its intention is anti-nostalgic, rejecting the past and only ever looking forward but not to transport you somewhere other than where you already find yourself. Drone falls not towards a future but into the present moment of noise that constantly dissolves as it becomes a purely mundane antidote to the meaninglessness of everything!
