Constanza Bizraelli

Constanza Bizraelli is a song-writer, composer, producer, sound artist and thinker from Peru. She has released music under the alias CAO, on several labels such as Opal Tapes, Club Chai, Seagrave and Future Origins. 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. 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.
