Short biography

After a research Master in Aerospace Engineering at Politecnico di Milano, with a master thesis on high strain rate deformations in aero-alloys, Andrea move to Ireland for carrying out a Ph.D. in mechanical and manufacturing engineering with a thesis on thermal and mechanical effect of high speed air jet in orthogonal cutting of low carbon steels, carried out by analytical, numerical and experimental methods. After one short experience as research fellow at Laboratorio MUSP of Politecnico di Milano (branch of Piacenza), he moves to France and he’s enrolled as a postdoc at INSA-Lyon / CNRS for almost 4 years, working on material science applied to industrial processes at INSA-Lyon (Mateis and Lamcos), in collaboration with Arcelor-Mittal, Saint Gobain and Safran. He currently teach mechanical engineering and fundamental of automatics at ESME, and he collaborates with INSA-Lyon (Lamcos). At the same time, Andrea develops a career in music as a pianist, harpsichordist and music teacher. He holds a research Master in Musicology and his fields of interests merge his studies in engineering and music : computational music analysis and room acoustics.

EU Grants and international cooperation projects

Virtual Stage (No:2020-1-IT01-KA226-VET-008970): a professional training project on opera repertoire proposed by Giunti Psychometrics (a Florentine university publisher). The project started in May 2021 and ended in 2023 with the creation of 20 electronic courses on distance learning for professional opera teachers and trainers. https://vstage.eu/

In Media Stat Virtus (No: 2021-1-IT02-KA220-HED-000027601 Call 2021): this project proposed by Giunti Psychometrics, is the application of the Virtual Stage method to vocal and instrumental chamber music. Unlike the previous project, the target group is conservatory teachers; therefore, most of the partners are members of the European Association of Conservatories (EAC). This project started in May 2022 and ended in 2024. https://inmediastatvirtusweb.eu/

CAPHE: Horizon project (academic and partnership research) with a funding of about 1.6 M€. The objective of this project is to test and develop an augmented reality environment (extended reality, XR) for live events, immersive pedagogy, tourism and virtual travel. CAPHE is a highly multidisciplinary project in which universities, research centers, conservatories, film production schools and communication agencies work together for 4 years starting January 1st 2023. https://www.caphe.space/ METAMORPHOSES (No 2022-1-FR01-KA220-VET-000085833) is an Erasmus+ KA2 project for vocational training. The aim of this project is to explore the implications of technologies in applied music education in conservatories, in particular real-time signal processing (RTSP), networked music performance (NMP), MIDI and virtual studio technology (VST), Internet of Things (IoT) and extended reality (XR). In this project, we will reflect on the incorporation of these technologies into the daily life of vocal and instrumental classes for a pedagogical and aesthetic change required by the conservatory administration with a focus on high artistic quality. https://metamorphosesproject.eu/

President & Artistic Director of Ensemble Lira Transalpina

Lira Transalpina is an Italian-French ensemble born from the idea of Andrea Bareggi for the dissemination and promotion of historically informed music of the two countries. The ensemble offers a varied and dynamic repertoire in early, classical and romantic music, mainly Italian and French, in the context of European cultured music. Lira Transalpina is also a research partner for performance based artistic research on music technology, AI/VR/XR and digital tools for higher education in music. https://liratransalpina.altervista.org/index.html
