Personalities

ARIEL MARTINEZ: composer and teacher of electroacoustics. He studied composition with Luis Hector Tosar in Montevideo. He was Professor in the Uruguayan "Universidad de la Republica" and in the Argentinian National Universities of Buenos Aires, Cordoba, La Plata and Rio Cuarto. He has been living in Argentina since several years (first in Rio Cuarto and now in Buenos Aires). He was founding member of the Uruguayan "Nucleo Musica Nueva" together with Coriun Aharonian and Conrado Silva. He is the deviser of the FArME project (he considers himself Argentinian) and one of its founding members together with Luis Maria Serra and Francisco Kröpfl. His music has been performed both in Uruguay and abroad. He was teacher of electroacoustics in two of the "Cursos Latinomericanos de Musica Contemporanea". In my view is the only person in Argentina capable of teaching electroacoustic in an University-level/environment since he developed a special method for that. His work "El Gloton de Pepperland" is of historical importance (it was produced at the "Centro de Altos Estudios Musicales" of the Di Tella Institute in Buenos Aires) and is part of the IDEAMA archive in Germany.

LEON BIRIOTTI: oboist and composer. An electroacoustic work of his was recorded in the previously mentioned CD accompanying the fourth issue of Leonardo Music Journal.

Events

JORNADAS DE MUSICA ELECTROACUSTICA: organized every years in Montevideo by the "Nucleo Musica Nueva". Electroacoustic music from all over the world is programmed.
