IR. TODOR TODOROFF
SENSOR & SOUND ANALYSIS DEVELOPMENT & ENGINEERING, FOR THE MUSIC CONCEPT REALIZATION.

Born in 1963, Todor Todoroff is an Electrical Engineer with a specialisation in telecommunications. He received a First Prize in Electroacoustic Com position at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Brussels (1993) as well as a higher diploma in Electroacoustic Composition at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Mons (1996) in the class of Annette Vande Gorne. After having been researcher in the field of speech processing at the Free University of Brussels, he was during 5 years head of the Computer Music Research at the Polytechnic Faculty in Mons (Belgium) where he developed real-time software tools for processing and spatialisation of sounds aimed at electroacoustic music composers in collaboration with the Royal Conservatory of Music in Mons.

He collaborated on several occasions with IRCAM He continues his research within ARTeM where he developed a sound spatialisation audio matrix and interactive systems for sound installations and dance performances. He is co-founder and president of FeBeME (Belgian Federation of Electroacoustic Music) and ARTeM (Art, Research, Technology & Music) and member of the Bureau of ICEM.

His collaboration with the Belgian choreographer Michèle Noiret started in 1998 on the show <En Jeu >. Since then he composed the music for In Between (2000) and for Twelve Seasons (2001). Today, in Prospective I, II and III, he carries on the development undertaken on the previous shows, developing interactions with the dancers using contact microphones and various sensors: ultrasound, pressure, acceleration, etc.

His electroacoustic music shows a special interest for multiphony and sound spatialisation as well as for research into new forms of sound transformation. He composes music for concert, film, video, dance, theatre and sound installation.
