Alejandro Viñao

Alejandro Viñao

Alejandro Viñao (Born September 4, 1951) in Argentina is a composer currently living in the UK. Viñao has received a number of international prizes and awards including the 'Golden Nica' Prix Ars Electronica (1992), 1st Prize at The International Rostrum at the Unesco World Music Council (1984) and many others. His music has been played and broadcast throughout Europe and the U.S.A and has been featured in international festivals such as the Tanglewood Festival, the Warsaw Autumn Festival and the London PROMS. Viñao's music is characterised by the use of pulsed rhythmic structures to create large scale form, and by a melodic writing which -as in the case of much non-European music- develops through rhythm rather than harmony. In addition to instrumental and Electroacoustic compositions he has also been involved with the creation of multimedia works, has composed music for films and produced several radio programmes for the BBC. Viñao is currently Artist in Residence at the Computer Lab of Cambridge University. His music has been recorded on the WERGO, MUSIDISC, ALBEDO and Fuga Libera labels.
