Life

Lintz Maués started playing guitar at the age of six and became interested in experimental art from an early age. As a teenager in the 1970s in Sao Paulo, he studied experimental art in the art school "Brasil:".

He then studied composition with Willy Correa de Oliveira and Gilberto Mendes at the University of Sao Paulo (USP). In 1976 he founded the Brazilian music group "Premeditando o Breque" ("Premê") together with colleagues from the music department of this university, of which he was a member until the mid-1980s.

After completing his composition studies, he specialized in electro-acoustic music and computer music in The Hague ( Royal Conservatory ), Utrecht (Institute for Sonology), Paris ( IRCAM ) and Vienna ( University of Music and Performing Arts ). His teachers included Louis Andriessen , Gottfried Michael Koenig , David Wessel and Wilhelm Zobl . His master's thesis "Música Eletroacústica no Brasil (1956-1981)" became the reference work on the pioneering years of Brazilian electroacoustic music.

In the 1980s Lintz Maués taught at the State University of Sao Paulo (UNESP) and headed the studio for electroacoustic music there. Some of his students at the time are now important representatives of Brazilian electroacoustic music. Since 1991 Lintz Maués has been a lecturer in electroacoustic and experimental music at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna (ELAK Institute). The graduates of this institute play an important role in the Austrian experimental music scene; some of them have u. a. founded a platform called “Velak”, which regularly organizes experimental concerts in Vienna.

From 1995 to 2000 Lintz Maués was President of the Austrian Society for Electroacoustic Music (GEM). His book “Acustica / Electronic Spring - Documentation of Electroacoustic Music in Austria” (1995, with Gerald Trimmel) documents the situation of Austrian electroacoustic music in the 1980s and 1990s.

From 1995 to 1997 he cooperated with Peter Weibel's class for visual media design at the University of Applied Arts Vienna (together with Ruth Schnell ). In 2005 and 2006 he developed projects in the field of "Audible Design" at this university (together with Ruth Mateus-Berr).

In the 1990s, Lintz Maués worked with composers such as Krzysztof Penderecki , Iannis Xenakis and Luc Ferrari . 1997-2002 he headed the composers forum of the ISMEAM - International Summer Meeting of Electroacoustic Music in Sárvár, Hungary. From 1998 to 2000 he was artistic director of the festival “Elektrokomplex” in Vienna and Linz and from 2003 to 2009 of the concert series “Klangprojektionen” in Vienna.

In 1999 he founded the “Vienna Noise Orchestra”, which is dedicated to live electronics and whose focus is on collective composition and sound research.

Lintz Maués has been a guest at various music institutions in Europe, North and South America and Asia and has taken part in numerous international concerts. He has received several awards for his work.
