Giorgio Nottoli

In 2007–2008, he created EMUfest "International Festival of Electroacoustic Music at the Conservatory of Santa Cecilia" and, from 2008 to 2013, he coordinated the creation of the first six editions of the event, which consists of over 16 concerts with over 100 performances for Each edition.

He was Professor of Electronic Music at the Conservatory of Rome "Santa Cecilia" from 2004 until 2013. At this Institute from 2006 to 2013, he served continuously in charge of coordinating the Department's "New Technologies and Music". Always at the Conservatory in Rome, he was a member of the Academic Council from 2010 to 2013.

In the first decade of 2000, has designed and developed three technology VST and AU plug-ins:

From 1999 to 2006 he was Professor of Electronic Music at the University of Rome "Tor Vergata". He has held this position for the Faculty of Arts, as part of the degree course in "History, Science and Techniques of Music and Performing Arts". Since 2007 he is professor of history, analysis and electroacoustic composition at the Second University of Rome "Tor Vergata" for the Faculty of Engineering as part of the "Master in Sonic Arts."

From 1997 to 2004 he coordinated, together with Prof. Mario Salerno and Prof. Giovanni Costantini, the design of the experimental system for the synthesis and sound processing circuits Saiph at the Laboratory of the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Rome"Tor Vergata".

Mixtral (1996–97) for audio, geared specifically to the applications of mixing desks, effect processing, and sound spatialization in partnership with Charlie Lab of Mantua.

In 1996, he held, along with Richardo Santoboni the course in electronic music at the 'Accademia Chigiana di Siena.

From 1993 to 1995 he collaborated with the institute IRIS (Institute for Research for Industry and the Performing Arts) Paliano for whom he carried out research and coordination in the design of advanced electronic systems for computer music. Since 1996 he has collaborated with various research and development which has developed various systems and algorithms for the processing of audio signals. During the early stages of research, design and development of methods and algorithms related to systems for computer music has collaborated with the following universities:

The works made since 1992 use as sound generator and processor the microchip ORION (designed by the author, 1988–90), among them:

From 1990 to 1992 he coordinated the Laboratory of Research and Development of the company ORLA spa (Recanati) developing the application phase of the microchip Orion Rigel and designing the operating system, software architecture dedicated to real-time control systems for the synthesis sound.

ORION (1988–90): A system for the synthesis / sound integrated on a single chip than 200,000 transistors based on highly parallel architecture fully microprogrammable (made by Sierra Semiconductor in 1990).

ASF (Audio Synthesis Family: set of 3 chips for additive synthesis and frequency modulation, 1984–87, together with Francesco Galante, produced by Texas Instruments in 1985–87).

In 1983 he founded, together with other musicians and researchers, SIM Srl (Society for Computer Music) in Rome, of which he was president until 1989.

The work made since 1980 are built by means of digital systems such as the WS-8 (designed by the author, 1978–79), among them:

Synth4A, software simulation of the famous 4A system designed by Giuseppe di Giugno (IRCAM 1977). Made for educational purposes has also been used in the production of electronic and electro-acoustic compositions).

In 1977, he received a fellowship from the National Research Council on the implementation of a system-oriented computer-aided electronic music composition. This appointment was extended for four years, until 1981, was carried out at the group of Electroacoustic and Environmental Acoustics Institute of Acoustics "OMCorbino", CNR, Rome, directed by prof. Paolo Giua.

Since 1975, conducts research in the field of science and technology, in the field of acoustics and computer music.

He was professor of electronic music at the Conservatory of Frosinone "L.Refice" from 1974 until 2003.

The works from 1972 to 1978 are built by means of analog or hybrid equipment largely designed by the author, among them:

He studied composition with Domenico Guaccero and Mario Bertoncini, guitar with Carmen Lenzi Mozzani and electronic music with Walter Branchi. Self-taught as a designer and researcher, has completed his apprenticeship in science, collaborating with various researchers, including Giuseppe di Giugno, Guido Guiducci and Silvio Santoboni. From 1968 he worked as a performer (lute and guitar) until 1975 and as a composer and researcher so far.

Giorgio Nottoli (born 1945) is an Italian composer, musician and academic.

Born in Cesena in 1945 he completed his musical studies at the Conservatory "G. Rossini" in Pesaro.
