On the evening of Friday, 14 July, we invite you to join our first Listening Party edition - which celebrates an album we stock and love.
For our first edition, we will be listening to L’ÉCOLE DE LA CAZ by the incomparable Aarti Jadu, who will also join us as our special guest.
Aarti will perform live vocalisations of songs from the album. Aarti’s singing practice is heavily influenced by group community singing, reflected in this album itself. This will be an opportunity to invite guests to join in to sing simple repetitive elements from the pieces heard in a choral capacity. Don't worry if you’re feeling shy; just come along and listen.
Aarti will sing from 8 pm. Guest entry from 7:30 pm to buy a record, enjoy a drink and explore He Whakaari Ātārangi / Shadow Play—A study of movement, shadows & play, our latest exhibition instalment by resident artist Ruby Brown.

Artist Bio
Aarti Jadu
Known for creating a hybrid of cinematic compositions and bass music laced with disparate vocal arrangements, Aarti threads together a journey with sounds of minimal classical, distorted folk beats and processed wordless melodies. Their work is formed from a culmination of existentialism, experimentation and research. Her life's work revolves around the power of embodying sound, an interest originating from her lifelong relationship with devotional music.
