Density Degree of Intervals and Chords
For almost two decades I have been doing a research in Physics of Music called Density Degree of Intervals and Chords always applied in my compositions. In this theory, I developed a new way of analyzing the degrees of dissonance of groups of notes.
Electronic Music
Development of electronic music instruments and interactive systems using programming languages, MAX/MSP, Pd/GEM and sensors combining sounds and live manipulation of computer graphics.
Musical Semiotics
Another field of research is Musicology, most precisely Music Semiotics, or the application of the Theory of Signs to musical language for the purpose of analysis and composition. It involves a historical perspective of how musicians attempted to establish a semantics of music and its relationship with the universality of the music.
