do trans-Art_113
Thursday, 13th November, 7:30PM
with Alba Llorach Roca, piano
in my studio at Bundesstraße 37, 5071 Wals
Alba Llorach Roca is a guest performer in the 113th installment of the do trans-Art performance series. Born in Tarragona, Spain, the concert pianist studied literature, piano, Romance languages, and contemporary music. In 2025, she was awarded the Sounding Visions Award by the IGNM in cooperation with the mdw. In the duo LiedExtend with Ingvill Statle Skjørten, she expands musical and scenic boundaries “with and against each other, for and with the audience.” Together with the illustrator and trans-Art performer Astrid Rieder, she now engages in a conversation in the languages of new music and drawing—an attempt at understanding that builds on and intertwines with each other.

do trans-Art 2025
with Astrid Rieder
In 2016, Astrid Rieder created the monthly performance series do trans-Art in her studio at Künstlerhaus Salzburg, which she has since continued in her studio in Wals, Salzburg: On the second Thursday of every month, Astrid Rieder invites a musician from the field of new music to her studio to enter into an artistic, transdisciplinary dialogue in front of an audience. For 40 minutes, two artists interact between abstract drawing and new music, without a score, without rehearsals and without thematic guidelines. The drawing is neither a performance instruction nor a visualisation of the sounds played. Likewise, the sound is not a musicalisation of the drawing. Rather, the performance is a simultaneous action and reaction, a bi-directional dialogue based on mutual inspiration, in which the arts meet without any hierarchy.
Despite many obstacles, the performance series do trans-Art has taken place every second Thursday of the month without interruption since 2016. After each performance, the large-scale drawing, a documentary video and an audio recording remain. After the performance, the audio recording (consisting of the musical part and the sounds created during the drawing process) can be heard on Astrid Rieder's radio programme Atelier für neue Musik / trans-Art on radiofabrik and RadioFro, together with a conversation with her performance partner.
