Alejandro Viñao (born September 4, 1951) is an Argentinian composer currently living in the United Kingdom. Viñao studied musical composition in Buenos Aires with the composer Jacobo Ficher.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Jacobo Ficher - Compositor, Director de Orquesta, Violinista y Docente )〕 In 1976 he was awarded a British Council scholarship to study in London at the Royal College of Music and later on at the City University where he was awarded a Ph.D in composition. He has been a British citizen since 1994, holding double nationality. During the 1980s he worked at IRCAM in Paris where he developed a particular interest in sound interpolation (sound morphing) a technique that has featured in many of his compositions such as Chant D'Ailleurs which won the Prix Ars Electronica in 1992. Viñao has written orchestral and chamber music for the concert hall, opera and music-theatre, film scores, music for multimedia events and rock and popular music. He has also created and presented programmes for the BBC, radio 3.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Radio 3 - Hear And Now - Nancarrow's Children )〕 He has written a number of percussion works, such as Khan Variations, which have become very well known in the US, Europe and Japan. At the rhythmic level Viñao’s work has been influenced by non western musical traditions as well as by the music of Conlon Nancarrow. In percussion pieces such as Estudios de Fronteras (2004), Viñao used complex polyrhythms to realise with percussion instruments played by human performers ideas derived from Nancarrow’s etudes for pianola. He also explored complex ideas on multi temporality using acoustic instruments combined with electroacoustic means, most noticeably in his string quartet Phrase & Fiction (1994/1995). Viñao presented his views on Nancarrow and his influence on a generation of composer such as himself in a BBC radio programme entitled ‘Children of Nancarrow’.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Radio 3 - Hear And Now - Nancarrow's Children )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=audio radio pgrogramme )〕 More recently Viñao’s work has focused on social and political issues, writing music-theatre or concert pieces concerned with themes such as the invasion of Iraq (‘The Baghdad Monologue’, 2005), the fate of deprived children around the world (‘Chicos del 21’, 2010) 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Chicos del 21, Alejandro Vinao )〕 and the financial crisis of 2008 (‘Greed’, 2012).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=GREED by Alejandro Vinao )〕 Viñao lives in Crouch End, North London with his wife, actress Lachele Carl, and their son Matteo. 〔()〕 ==Prizes and awards== *1976 to 1979 - British Council Scholarship. *1977 - Cobbett Prize in composition, Royal College of Music, London. *1979 - 2nd prize at International Competition for Electro-Acoustic Music Bourges, France.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Institut International de Musique Electroacoustique de Bourges )〕 *1981 - 1st prize at International Competition for Electro-Acoustic Music Bourges, France. *1984 - 1st Prize at The International Rostrum, of the Unesco, World Music Council. *1988 - Mention, Prix Ars Electronica, Austria. *1989 - Distinction, Prix Ars Electronica, Austria.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=ARS Electronica ARCHIVE )〕 *1990 - 2nd prize Sony Radio Academy Awards, UK *1992 - 2nd prize Sony Radio Academy Awards, UK *1992 - Euphonie d'Or, Bourges, France.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=EUPHONIES D'OR 1992 )〕 *1992 - 1st Prize Golden Nica, Prix Ars Electronica, Austria.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=ARS Electronica ARCHIVE )〕 *1994 - Honorary Mention, Prix Ars Electronica, Austria. *1994 - Guggenheim fellowship in composition, USA.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Alejandro Vi単ao - John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation )〕 *1996 - Research & Development Grant, Arts Council of Great Britain. *1996 - Honorary Mention, Prix Ars Electronica, Austria.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=ARS Electronica ARCHIVE )〕 *2004 - Arts and Science research Fellowship, Music Department, University of Cambridge, UK *2006 - Leverhulme Trust Artist in Residence at University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory, UK *2007- Roger D.
