Edson Zampronha

Edson Zampronha (born June 2, 1963) is a Brazilian composer dedicated to contemporary experimental music.

In 1978 he was introduced into electroacoustic music composition, and his first experiments were done in a four-channel Revox tape recorder.

In 2008 he interrupts a sequence of 16 years as a professor of musical composition at the São Paulo State University.

He transferred his residency to León (Spain) and started a new period of musical composition and research.

One of the keywords in the music of Zampronha is "re-interpretation" (or re-signification), understood as the act of understanding in a different way what had been previously listened to.

Zampronha's main rhetoric strategy is first to induce the listener to understand the musical discourse in a specific way.

Specific sequences of these chords may generate a new-functionality producing direccionalities inside the work.

Different aspects of his compositions reflect these innovations, as the musical notation he uses and the relationship between instruments and electroacoustics[3][7] for instance.
