Biography

Originally from Godoy Cruz, Mendoza, Argentina, Nicolás Arnáez is based in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, and works as a Research Coordinator at the College of Social Sciences and Humanities. His music compositions emphasize interactivity and utilize electroacoustic techniques for real-time sound processing, creating interactive sound installations for acoustic ensembles. His works are characterized by the use of spatialization, where sounds are carefully distributed in space following specific trajectories. He employs advanced tools for sound reproduction, including intensity panning and dimensional ambisonics, often combining these with the performers' positioning and movement in space. With pieces that have been awarded in both Argentina and Canada, Nicolás's compositions have been performed in Brazil and the United States. He is also an active sound technician and projectionist, contributing to popular new music scenes. He holds a Doctorate in Music Composition from the University of Alberta.
