dadaLab - 2008 Alexander Ave. Austin, TX.

CAST continues its week of events with CAST Creators in Performance, an evening dedicated to the artists and ensembles who help shape the creative foundation of the program. This special event brings together leading figures in Austin’s experimental music and new media communities for a night of forward-thinking sound, live performance, and contemporary composition.

The evening features a new realtime audio-visual work by Kyle Evans, whose art explores the relationship between technology, sound, and immersive visual media.

Composer Aida Shirazi presents work that draws on timbre, language, and contemporary chamber practice, offering a nuanced perspective on acoustic and electroacoustic sound.

SoundMap Ensemble joins the program with innovative contemporary music rooted in community engagement, new work development, and interdisciplinary collaboration. SoundMap Ensemble works to be performed:

communication rot from attic rot, ephemera spasms (2026)
Tanner Jones
Time & Money (2004), Pierre Jodlowski
Luciano Medina, soloist
Treatise by Cornelius Cardew (1967)

The night also includes a performance by Line Upon Line Percussion, the Austin-based trio known for its adventurous programming and close partnerships with living composers. They will be performing the work Aves Machinatae (2025) composed by Aida Shirazi.

Together, these creators represent the artistic ethos at the heart of CAST. Their performances offer audiences a wide-ranging look at the practices and perspectives that inform this year’s international cohort of CAST artists.

ABOUT CAST:

CAST (Contemporary Art & Sound Technologies) is a platform for artists working at the intersection of sound, music, and visual media — dedicated to bold experimentation and boundary-pushing interdisciplinary work.

For the inaugural 2026 season, selected composers, visual artists, and multimedia creators have been paired into collaborative teams, spending months developing new work together. Their efforts culminate in a single performance on Saturday, March 28 at dadaLab.

Throughout CAST week, audiences will experience performances and presentations from artists across the experimental sound and visual media community — building toward that final night.

Presented in partnership with UT Austin's College of Fine Arts, the Department of Arts and Entertainment Technologies, the Butler School of Music, SoundMap, Line Upon Line Percussion, dadageek, and dadaLab.
