Density512 is a chamber orchestra and collective of brave and open musicians who champion contemporary programming. We tell stories through imaginatively curated experiences, amplify the voices of groundbreaking and emerging artists, and cultivate interdisciplinary collaborations.
Through his work with Density512, Jacob directs, performs, and produces live events at the intersection of music, multimedia, and interdisciplinary storytelling. Since 2017 Density512 has given more than 30 world premieres, served over 8,000 live attendees, and reached over 100,000 people through radio and television performances.
CULTURAL PLACEMAKING & PARTNERPSHIP
Density512 presents live performances in cultural spaces throughout Austin, embedding our work into the fabric of our city’s cultural institutions. We practice cultural placemaking by curating experiences specifically designed to engage with the spaces they are performed in & the communities they are performed for.
Examples of recent collaboration includes collaborations with Red Nightfall Dance Theatre, The Austin Public Library, KMFA Classical 89.5, Here Be Monsters, dadalab, Austin Chamber Music Center, The Contemporary Austin, Blanton Museum of Art, Silent Films Out Loud, Fast Forward Austin, Thinkery, Liminal Sound Series, UMLAUF Sculpture Garden, HUB New Music, American Berserk Theatre, Red Night Fall Productions, Gilbert & Sullivan Austin, and Golden Hornet
IMPACTFUL STORYTELLING
Our obsession with deep storytelling impact through immersive production sets us apart from peer institutions in Austin’s classical music scene. We leverage the power of music, dance, theater, media, spoken word & creative design to invite audiences into direct & intimate contact with the diverse stories of our featured creators. One audience member shared that our performance “felt like a community making a symphony rather than a performance in front of an audience…[Density512] changes the way I think about music.”
