Composer, scholar & cultural promoter

Pablo’s works converge multidisciplinary interests that engage inmersive sound, improvisatorial schemes, and technology applied to music.

His work as a composer and sound artist include instrumental compositions, mixed, multimedia installation, and robotic applications. Simultaneously, Pablo has created and promoted diverse musical venues such as, festivals, workshops and concerts with the goal of promoting current music that proposes new ways of hearing involving technology in a creative way. All these have lead him to participate with different artists, ensembles and orchestras around the globe at different continents. In 2019, Pablo was a founding member of the Musical Festival Interciclos in Queretaro, Mexico.

Among his academic activities stand out the conclusion of his doctoral degree in Algoritmic Musical Composition by the University of California, Santa Cruz. A postdoctoral residence at Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico. In addition, Pablo has participated in different research projects like Robotic Hearing, Enhancement of Human Aural Location. A project supported by the program UC-Mexus CONACYT. All these have led Pablo to work in the intersection of arts and science. Particularlly interested in developing novel ways of algorithmic recognition applied to song bird recognition.

“Collaborative Research Grant.”
Pablo Vargas served as the coordinator of the collaboration between the UCSC Department of Music and the IIMAS of UNAM to develop the project Robotic Hearing, Enhancement of Human Aural Location (2017–2018).

The project Robotic Hearing, Enhancement of Human Aural Location is a collaboration between Professor David Dunn from the Music Department at UC, Santa Cruz and Dr. Caleb Rascon from the Department of Computer Science of the Instituto de Investigaciones en Matemáticas Aplicadas y en Sistemas (IIMAS) at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM). The collaboration is based on the development of a computerized system that analyses sound data location to reinforce robotic learning. The goal of the team is to expand human aural perception, which is augmented by visual translation of the sound data that will support the tuning methodology of developing algorithms and its function. The application of such teamwork grasps computer programing, algorithmic composition, data defragmentation, multidimensional phenomena transformation, and human perception interpolated by novel technology. Both investigators, Prof. Dunn and Dr. Rascon contribute, with their expertise on sound location, to expand research in one of the fields that synthesizes creativity under restrained methodology. This partnership relies on multidisciplinary approach in order to obtain tangible results of a ethereal experimentation, which is under constant refinement in either hardware and software improvements. The task is to create a constant interchange of experimentation of such applications with different technology, as well as diverse approaches to the actual problem: find sound on a multidimensional space by a computerized system.
