Artist Roster

Adam Vidiksis is a drummer and composer who explores social structures, science, and the intersection of humankind with the machines we build. His music examines technological systems as artifacts of human culture, acutely revealed in the slippery area where these spaces meet and overlap—a place of friction, growth, and decay. Critics have called his music “mesmerizing”, “dramatic”, “striking” (Philadelphia Weekly), “notable”, “catchy” (WQHS), “magical” (Local Arts Live), and “special” (Percussive Notes), and have noted that Vidiksis provides “an electronically produced frame giving each sound such a deep-colored radiance you could miss the piece's shape for being caught up in each moment” (Philadelphia Inquirer). His work is frequently commissioned and performed throughout North America, Europe, and Asia in recitals, festivals, and major academic conferences. Vidiksis’s music has won numerous awards and grants, including recognition from the Society of Composers, Inc., the American Composers Forum, New Music USA, the National Endowment for the Arts, Chamber Music America, and ASCAP. His works are available through HoneyRock Publishing, EMPiRE, New Focus, PARMA Ravello, Fuzzy Panda, Scarp, False Walls, and SEAMUS Records. Vidiksis recently served as composer in residence for the Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia and was selected by the Japan-US Friendship Commission to serve as a Nichi Bei Collaborator Artist in Japan. He is currently a 2025 Established Artist Fellow in Music Composition for the Delaware Division of the Arts. Vidiksis is Associate Professor of music technology at Temple University and a director and founding member of SPLICE Music. He performs in SPLICE Ensemble, Aeroidio, the Miller-Vidiksis-Wells trio, and Ensemble N_JP, and directs BEEP, the Boyer College Electroacoustic Ensemble Project. [www.vidiksis.com]
