LUIZ E. CASTELOES (BR) Luiz Casteloes' music is marked by an integration of Brazilian, American, and European musical traditions (especially in what regards Brazilian dance styles, American jazz/funk/pop, and selected composers from the European "art music" tradition such as Machaut, Gesualdo, Bach, and Webern). His works are characterized by extreme rhythmic precision, conciseness, and brevity. Among his favorite aesthetic topics are: plagiarism, sound pollution, exoticism, publicity, cultural diversity, cartoon music, humor, and musical onomatopoeia. LUIZ E.

He has won prizes, fellowships and scholarships from the following institutions: Boston University, Fulbright, CAPES, FAPERJ, CNPq, UNIRIO, PUC/RJ, Brazilian Contemporary Music Biennial, and "Festival Primeiro Plano."
