Interactive Electronic Music (IEM)
My work in Interactive Electronic Music (IEM) explores how sound, technology and human interaction can merge into a single performative ecosystem. Through real-time systems built in Max/MSP, sensors and network communication, I develop environments where both performer and audience can influence the outcome of the music.
One of the main expressions of this project is the interactive performance series, where audience members participate in shaping the concert through mobile devices, sending inputs that the system interprets to modify elements such as rhythm, texture or structure. The first of these performances took place on September 6, 2025, marking the beginning of a live format that emphasizes improvisation, adaptability, and shared experience — each concert becoming a unique, unrepeatable event.
Another key aspect of IEM involves the creation of virtual instruments using RNBO and Max/MSP. These instruments can run directly on web platforms or mobile devices, allowing for greater accessibility and interaction. While not all Max/MSP objects are supported in RNBO, this technology opens new possibilities for experimentation, enabling real-time sound processing and synthesis in flexible, collaborative contexts.
Some of these instruments are designed for educational use, helping students and musicians explore synthesis and sound manipulation without the need for specialized software. Others function as performance tools, allowing both performers and audiences to interact and co-create sound in real time. Together, they form an evolving ecosystem where technology becomes an extension of human expression.
Below is a video presenting a virtual instrument as used in a live performance. The second video shows a different concert in which the audience interacts in real time by voting, influencing various parameters within Max. The accompanying buttons grant access to both examples, each illustrating a distinct approach to interaction and functionality. The last two buttons provide access to the same granular virtual instrument, presented through a different approach.
