The Preauricular Pit: Ritual Heaps, Tom Cadillac, Kristian Larsen

You hear a shrill call coming forth from the horizon, the buzzing of a thousand electrical circuits, the earth begins to shudder, the dirt right in front of you begins to ripple and fall away, like the mouth of the earth opening, a dark pit gapes before you, you lean forward ever tentatively and look down, far below you can just make out the glow of a thousand LEDs, something calls out to you, the Preauricular Pit has returned…. with three portals lining its walls of stone….

TOM CADILLAC
Tom Cadillac has a background in classical piano and free improv.
His current work explores evolving and decaying loops…
“As our brainbot endlessly repeats habitual behaviours and thought patterns so we become less present to ourselves.
loop music highlights the dynamic between a fragmenting of awareness through repetition and the resistance of this through street incredibility – the mad spark of attention igniting the shock of the ever evolvin

KRISTIAN LARSEN
Kristian Larsen is a Tamaki Makaurau based multi-disciplinary artist with an ongoing project of rigorous and crumbly approaches to improvisation and performance making. Larsen’s practice is grounded in contemporary dance, choreographic thinking, experimental sound and is distracted by relationships between the body and technology. His approach to sound making is autodidactic. Entangling technical skill with indeterminism and non-comprehension. Larsen creates experimental sonic collages and disconcerting ambiences for imaginary dance performances using live radio, dense clusters of samples, field recordings, and objects.
