ANDREATTA Moreno

My research activity focuses since several years on the relationships between mathematics and music. In particular, I'm interested in the algebraic formalization of musical structures and processes, a subject which was at the center of my PhD in computational musicology within the Doctoral Program entitled "Musique, Histoire, Société" and organized by the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales (EHESS), the Institut of Research and Coordination on Acoustics and Music (IRCAM), the Ecole Normale Supérieure (ENS) and the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse of Paris (CNSMDP).

The thesis, entitled "Méthodes algébriques dans la musique et la musicologie du XXème siècle : aspects théoriques, analytiques et compositionnels", was supervised by Alain Poirier and defended the 12th of December 2003 at IRCAM with the score "mention très honorable et félicitations du jury".

The jury was composed by Gérard Assayag (computer scientist and Head of IRCAM Music Representation Team, my research laboratory during the period of the thesis), Marc Chemillier (computer scientist, ethnomathematician and ethnomusicologist at the EHESS), Guerino Mazzola (mathematician and music theorist at the University of Zürich and University of Minnesota), Jean Petitot (directeur d'Etudes at the Centre d'Analyse et de Mathématique Sociales (CAMS) of the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales and former Director of the Centre de Recherche en Epistémologie appliquée (CREA) at the Ecole Polytechnique), Alain Poirier (musicologist and former Director of the CNSMDP) and John Rahn (music theorist of the University of Washington at Seattle).

Since 1999 I am coordinating the Maths/Music activities within the Music Representation Team at IRCAM. In particular, I'm organizing since 2001 with Carlos Agon the MaMuX Seminar (Mathematics/Music and their relations with other fields) at IRCAM and since 2005 with François Nicolas and Charles Alunni the mamuphi Seminar (Mathematics, music and philosophy) at the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris.

Since 2006 I am editor (with Jean-Michel Bardez) of the "Musique/Sciences" Series (Ircam/Delatour France).

Founding member of the Journal of Mathematics and Music, the official Journal of the Society for Mathematics and Computation in Music (SMCM), I am also Editor (with Guerino Mazzola) of Springer Computational Music Science.

Since September 2009 I am responsable, with Mikhail Malt, of the two teaching units "Music and Science after 1945 (MSV)" and "Applications of Acoustics, Signal Processing and Computer Science to contemporary music creation (CMC)" within ATIAM, a Master Program which I am coordinating at Ircam.
