Fernando Falci de Souza

Doctor in Music at University of Campinas (UNICAMP), his research deals mostly with a poetic extension of the sound synthesis method known as Granular Synthesis from the sound to the visual domain approaching an area named Visual Music. Many subjects are involved in this research as sound synthesis, electroacoustic composition, art software engineering, human-computer interaction, intermodal perception, abstract graphic animation e graphic scores, and also the developing of computer systems and audiovisual compositions. Due to his double formation, in computer Sciences at University of São Paulo (USP) and in Music at "Faculdades Santa Marcelina" (FASM), his previous research has focused at the intersection of both areas, during his Master degree research has developed a system named EVOGrain in which a Genetic Algorithm is applied to control Granular Synthesis. For two times performed a research at the Input Devices for Music Interaction Lab (IDMIL) from McGill University with supervision of Prof. Dr. Marcelo M. Wanderley as a Research Trainee, analyzing and building Gestural Controllers and exploring possibilities of a depth camera as a Digital Musical Instrument. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)
