    Constanza Bizraelli is a composer, producer, sound artist and thinker from Peru currently based in Barcelona. She has released music under the alias CAO, on several labels such as Opal Tapes, Club Chai, Seagrave among others. Her music dwells on ecstatic liminal spaces, incorporating elements of ritual, subterranean myth and forward-thinking electronics. Combining caustic Latin-American rhythmic experimentation, transcendent textures that maneuver between tropical warmth, noise poetics and dark industrial ambiences, her sound creates immersive experiences that toy with time scales, merging ancestral reminiscence with visions of futurity. Drawing on analogue synths, digital audio techniques and vocal experiments, her sound, often times reminiscent of early Coil and late 70s mutant disco with a Latin twist, is both militant and elusive. Her research and practice as a sound artist focuses on the study of spacetime and presence through spatial sound, conceptual science and ancestral philosophies and cosmologies. Her most recent project: "Auralisms: The Relativity of Acoustic Presence" realized at the Spatial Sound Institute (Amsterdam/ Budapest) addresses the notion of presence through sound spatialization, Vedic spirituality and the theory of General Relativity. Constanza is the founder of Cyclops Journal, a publication dedicated to contemporary and experimental theory. Also a former resident at NTS Radio (London) from 2016-2018 and alumna of the Red Bull Music Academy. Constanza's work has been exhibited at numerous festivals and exhibitions in Europe, North and South America, including Sonar Reykjavik (Iceland), Rewire Festival (NL), Berghain (DE), Tate Modern (UK), Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art (US), Mutek Montreal (CA) and more.
