Résumé

This lecture explores the intersection of composition, self-organization, and neuroscience, emphasizing the need for interdisciplinary dialogue between music and science in computer-assisted music composition and analysis. I will describe interdisciplinary projects, like « Multimodal Brain Orchestra » (https://youtu.be/OnNyRfBK_l0) and « Ada: intelligent space » (https://youtu.be/6R9624xV7JM), among others, which integrates music and dance through the intersection of interactive music composition and neuroscience under the lens of « Neuroaesthetics ». The talk highlights the transformative potential of interdisciplinary approaches and collaboration supporting music and sound computing.

Biographie

Jônatas Manzolli (BMath, BMUS, MMath, Ph.D.) is a highly regarded researcher and composer deeply engaged with contemporary themes. His academic research focuses on the relationship between composition, computational and mathematical modeling, and music cognition. With a career-spanning collaboration with esteemed institutions, Jônatas has taught and conducted research at the University of Campinas (Unicamp) in Brazil. He is a tenured professor at the Unicamp Institute of Arts and was the former head of the Interdisciplinary Nucleus for Sound Studies (NICS) for nearly 25 years. Throughout his trajectory, he has worked on notable projects, including the interactive music composition for « Ada: intelligent space » at the Swiss Expo.02 and the world premiere of « Multimodal Brain Orchestra » at the Science Beyond Fiction Conference in Prague. Jônatas Manzolli’s compositions encompass a diverse range, spanning electroacoustic and chamber music, large orchestral settings, and three operas.
