Cas van Son


As a designer, craftsman and musician, Cas believes in the power of "working together".

With his installations and instruments he brings movement, wonder, connection and pleasure.


In 2018 Cas graduated from the Design Academy in Eindhoven with the project JAMFLOW. A series of alternative instruments with which non-musicians and musicians can intuitively make music together and (re)discover the joy of playing together. With this, Cas laid the foundation for his current Collabrophone projects. In which he develops instruments and installations, independently or on commission, that always tempt you to go on a musical journey and to discover together.

Cas also likes to share his passion for music, technology and experimentation in collaboration with others. He currently works partly from the Netherlands (Eindhoven) and partly from Norway (Trondheim).
