  • A Cybernetic Garden in Shambhala (2020)
    a virtual, automatic and infinite sound/musical environment intended for meditative practices, algorithmically generated in real-time by computer means.


  • C♯ERU♭INI ♫ 1.0 (2018)
    Purpose: software for the application and automatic correction of 4-voice homophonic harmony exercises, implemented as additional support for the activities of the undergraduate Tonal Harmony course of the State University of Maringá.
    Operating System: online app, programmed in Javascript, multi-platform.



  • Harmonic Musical Analysis Font (2007-2014)
    Purpose: truetype font with analytical characters and special symbols from Riemannian funcional harmony theory and scale-degree traditional harmony theory for the typesetting of musical analyses.
    Operating System: multi-platform, open-source software.
    You can download the TrueType FONT and its typing chart with some explanations. The font is free only for non-commercial personal and research use, and please do credit my authorship of the font if you end up using it.


  • 6.0 LiveSpatializer (The Joystick Hexagon) (2009-2013)
    Purpose: live spatialization of pre-recorded stereo audio to a hexaphonic (6.0) channel disposition, for live concert situations, controllable through a Playstation 2 joystick interface.

  • Surround Projector 7.1 (2009-2012)
    Purpose: mixing and spatialization of pre-recorded audio in 8 discrete channels for mixing in 2.0, 6.0, 8.0, 5.1 and 7.1 styles, for studio production.
    Operating System: Linux, open-source software; programmed in C.


  • Costère Calculator (2005-2010)
    Purpose: computational model of the music theories by Edmond Costère in his 1954 book Lois et Styles des Harmonies Musicales.
    Operating System: multi-platform; software in PHP accessible through the internet.


  • Acousmatic Notator (2005-2010)
    Purpose: notation of complex musical notation in postscript generated by algorithmical means.
