André Castro (b.1983) is a sound artist from Lisbon, Portugal, graduated in Sonic Arts by the Middlesex University. He develops works which, although often different in form, have in common the employment and exploration of sound and technology. A great part of these projects has been created in collaboration with designers, visual artists and choreographers. In recent years he has developed an interest for the potential and imaginary of the radio. For this medium, he has created the sound installation Radio Fragments, and the radiophonic documentaries Subterrâneos de Lisboa, and Boat People. Since last year he has begun to explore the world of electronics. Such incursions have resulted in the Tactile Noise project.
Media artist with a background in sound art and a current practice focused on experimental publishing and offline digital libraries. André is a tutor at the Experiment Publishing MA Program at the Piet Zwart Institute and Willem de Kooning Academy’s Publication Station. In these contexts he has coordinated the development of hybrid publications Beyond Social and Refugee Phrasebook. André received his MA from the Media Design & Communication programme in 2013 and has previously studied under the Sonic Arts BA at Lansdown Centre for Electronic Arts, Middlesex University, UK.
