Born in Sao Paulo, composer and improviser Alex Buck (1980) is graduated in
composition with emphasis in Electroacoustic modality at São Paulo’s State
University (UNESP). His production as a composer focuses on acousmatic music –
with particular interest in dialogues between referential-concrete sounds and
abstract ones. Some of his pieces have been projected in concert rooms from
countries abroad including Germany, Mexico and France. His piece “A Dialética das
Durações” (sólo percussion – 2009) was awarded at the XIX Biennial of
Contemporary Music promoted by FUNARTE (2010). Alex is now developing his
master’s research in Electroacoustic Composition (UNESP) under the guidance of
composer Flo Menezes. He is currently a professor of Composition, Ècriture, Musical
Analysis and Improvisation at EMESP Tom Jobim (São Paulo’s State Music School).
