Felipe Ramirez-Rodriguez

Felipe Ramirez-Rodriguez is a prolific electroacoustic composer based in Toronto, Canada. He has degrees from top universities from both the USA and Canada in classical/contemporary music composition, and has enjoyed the privilege of living and working in both countries for many years.

As a digital advocate and contemporary composer, he has a keen interest in the use of new technology and the many possibilities of digitally-enriched multimedia pieces, as it can be applied in both the arts and advertising - an industry where he has spent more than a decade. His fascination with digital advertising has urged him to get involved with both Digital Out-of-Home (D-OOH) and mobile advertising, a timely combination of media channels that promises to be at the forefront of advertising industry for many years to come.

Felipe believes that digital technology is a sine qua non for the proper elaboration of new content. This is true for both contemporary artists and communicators at large, who can now create borderless pieces that may virtually reach anyone, anywhere and without limitations. Technology, whether in the context of electroacoustic pieces or functional art – i.e. advertising and “functional music”-, conveys a much-needed expansion of possibilities in an ever-changing environment, where the concert hall has been displaced just as much as the printed magazine has already been replaced by its digital version.

He is currently finishing his first book titled “NeuroSoundscapes: An Exploration of the Mental Music of Healing”, which will be published by Alchemusical Digital Publishing in April of 2018 (you can find it on Amazon today for pre-order). This short book – and as stated in the tile - is an introduction to his notion of “NeuroSoundscapes “, which talks about the creation of aural spaces within an electro (digital) - acoustic environment, in order induce both positive psychobehavioral and physical changes in the experiencer.
