The Auricle extends an invite to the brave and foolhardy to venture forth on the evening of July 4 and witness a mid-winter sonic stouch between Teen Haters [Miss Mercury & Mr Repetition] and The Escalation [Mr Noisy & Mr Strangely Familiar]*.

Gape in awe at the flexing of taut strings; flinch at the squeals of misbehaving electronics; wonder at the perplexing tangle of cables and wrangling of mysterious knobs; gasp in horror at the flagrant and joyous disregard for professional musicianship in a public space.

Recover afterwards in the Auricle Wine Bar with some fine beverages, accompanied by lite entertainment courtesy of DJ Interior Design. Entry is free. Space is strictly limited. BYO wet wipes and hand towels.

Join us at The Auricle for Reading Around Sound – a monthly reading group meeting. Each month we’ll meet up and discuss specific texts that present ideas, thoughts, and theories relating to sound activity. All are welcome to attend!

June’s reading is part II of Eyes of The Skin by Juhani Pallasmaa. Whilst strictly speaking an architectural text, it will serve to offer a point of entry to engage with questions of multi-sensorial perception and spatiality. Link to PDF: https://auricle.nz/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/juhani-pallasmaa-the-eyes-of-the-skin.pdf

For online discussion around these texts, and if you’d like to suggest a text for upcoming consideration please join the Reading Around Sound Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1803541419871262/

Reading Around Sound is a monthly reading group that endeavours to facilitate theoretical and critical engagement with contemporary sonic practices and related issues through close reading, and ongoing discussion and debate. It is a shared initiative between the Auricle and the Audio Foundation with monthly events in both Auckland and Christchurch.
