My name is Oriol Colomé, and I am a musician and a music scientist.
A bit about myself: I’ve spent over a decade making a living from, and for this wiggly air and cognitive phenomenon we call music. While my core education is music-based, I’ve been shifting to the music tech space, where I am developing my career. I enjoy working with all kinds of folks: musicians, industry pros, academics, product people, you name it. I like to think of myself as a jack of all trades. Although I have a more substantial musical background, I also have relevant experience in the product and tech side of the music business, which allows me to connect artistic and business needs: all things music.
I have proven experience in almost all of the stages of the production pipeline. I lead and develop creative, product, and business teams, aiming to build strong relationships with stakeholders. This helps me make informed decisions to support business growth.
My primary interest lies in high-level semantic abstractions closely aligned with cognitive processes related to the language of music and its theory and cultural constructs. The key question that drives my curiosity is: how can we flexibly and dynamically connect the high-resolution yet low-level representation of an electric signal through symbolic representations, systematic musicology, natural language, discrete representations, semantics, and cultural contexts—all within the framework of Western musical traditions?
