http://www.arlequins.it/pagine/articoli/corpointerviste.asp?chi=269 For a few years I started to teach at the National University of Quilmes (on the outskirts of the Argentina capital), in the race electroacoustic composition. On the one hand I give a subject related to the musical aesthetic, between the eighteenth and twenty-first (in other words, from Mozart to the present, through The Beatles, free jazz and improvised musics European). Also, from this year, do I have to tutor students who graduate with a work for nine instruments and electronics. My relationship with the university is, in a sense, vocational. It pays very little money, but, for me, a very rewarding experience.
