Research

In my recent research work I studied ‘musical timbre’, a multidimensional quantity of great importance for acousticians and sound engineers. In our work (see publications section) I have been able to develop a set of FFT-Acoustics descriptors to characterize the musical timbre of monophonic sounds using Artificial Intelligence techniques.

Currently my research continues to focus on the study of musical timbre for melodic and polyphonic fragments, in addition to the study of the musical concept of ‘Sonority’ intrinsically related to musical timbre (See Musical acoustic section).

I am passionate about the study of the elements that make up music and their influence on the development of technological tools used for musical creation or performance (See AI and technology section). Additionally, I am interested in the neuroacoustic effects that these same elements have on our brain.

The following photo corresponds to my last participation in the ‘Forum Acuticum 2023’ in the city of Torino -Italy. On that occasion I was able to present a part of my doctoral thesis work.

The following images correspond to my participation in the musical computing symposium held in 2019 in the city of São João do Rei – Brazil. I had the opportunity to present a work on musical timbre and its relationship with some verbal indicators commonly used to refer to timbral variations.

Permanent research and study gives us the opportunity to deepen our understanding of the things that surround us. As humans, this permanent search characterizes us and allows us to advance scientifically and technologically.

As I am a multidisciplinary researcher, I always try from my different angles (music, physics, computing, didactics) to provide new alternatives to understand and develop technology that helps us.

In my master’s thesis I developed an automated physics laboratory in the processing and analysis of signals that could be acquired in parallel through different sensors (vibration, temperature, etc.). This work was presented at different national and international conferences, in addition to producing some publications on the developed technology.

I have had the opportunity to take my research work to different specialized conferences. In the next photo is my participation in the ‘Tecniacústica 2017’ in the city of La Coruña Spain.
