Matteo Tundo is an Italian composer of acoustic and electroacoustic music. His primary interest in composition is the perception and cognition of sound events, exploring the neural mechanisms that lead to the signification of sound. His work focuses on the application of neuroaesthetics in musical composition.
After his initial guitar studies, he devoted himself entirely to composition and new technologies, studying at the conservatories of Florence, Parma, and Lugano, and at the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia. He studied composition with Ivan Fedele, Giorgio Colombo Taccani, Javier Torres Maldonado, and Nadir Vassena, and electronic music with Marco Ligabue, Alfonso Belfiore and Michelangelo Lupone. He also attended specialized courses with Salvatore Sciarrino, Yan Maresz, Beat Furrer, Franck Bedrossian, Marco Stroppa, Mark Andre and others.
His compositions have been performed in Italy, Germany, Portugal, France, Spain, Greece, Switzerland, Austria, United States, Iran, Korea, Japan, Hong Kong, and Australia. He has participated as composer in international festivals.
His compositions have been awarded or recommended in international competitions, and his scores are published by Edizioni Sconfinarte and Stradivarius Edizioni.
