Andrea Casta unveils ‘The Sounds Of Marble’ live project from Italy’s Botticino marble quarry

Italian violinist, DJ, and producer Andrea Casta has unveiled The Sounds Of Marble, a new audiovisual project recorded inside the Botticino Marble Quarry in Brescia, Italy. Filmed during his “Cava Experience” event in June, the project includes a 22-minute live set and the official music video for his latest single, Fragments. Released through Gameroom / Black Hole Recordings, the track reached No. 1 on Beatport’s Hype MainStage chart. The performance brings together Casta’s DJing, electric violin, illuminated laser bow, and live audio effects inside the working quarry. Across the set, he plays his own releases alongside music from Cosmic Gate, Anyma, Joji, Meduza, Hayla, and Hans Zimmer. The project also continues the “Digital Renaissance” concept introduced through Reconnection, linking the physical history of the quarry with themes surrounding technology and digital fragmentation.

Inside ‘The Sounds Of Marble’

Months of preparation went into the project, with Light & Magic handling the video production and BeNow s.c.p.a. working on the wider setup. Extracted marble blocks were used to construct the stage, while projections covered the quarry walls and a lighting and laser installation extended across two levels over a distance of 300 metres.

Casta performs throughout the set using electric violin, his illuminated laser bow, and real-time audio effects alongside the DJ mix. The full performance was captured using eight cameras, showing the scale of the quarry, its industrial structures, and the production built inside it from several angles.

Speaking about the project, Andrea Casta described creating music inside an active marble quarry as both a conceptual and visual challenge. He explained that Fragments follows the ideas first explored through Reconnection, combining trance influences with a stronger MainStage sound. The track’s focus on digital fragmentation is placed alongside the history of Botticino, its workers, and the physical process behind marble extraction.

The Full Set and Tracklist

The 22-minute performance begins with an original The Sounds Of Marble introduction before moving into Cosmic Gate’s Take Me. Casta then performs Fragments, followed by Panama and Keanler’s Don’t Let Go, Anyma and Joji’s Beautiful, and the Nico de Andrea remix of Meduza and Hayla’s Another World. His previous single Reconnection appears near the end of the set, before the performance closes with Hans Zimmer’s Leaving Caladan from the Dune soundtrack.
