Transfônico is a project by Renan Luis, sound artist, music producer, sound designer and educator from Osasco, SP. Renan is currently researching electronic music within peripheral and experimental contexts, with special interest in footwork, drum'n'bass and Brazilian funk music. He also works as music production artist-educator at Associação de Artistas de São Paulo (ASP) within the Expresso II project, and as sound director and sound operator focusing in dance performances.
Renan is graduated in Computing (Impacta/UNIP) and has completed courses in Sound for TV and Cinema (Academia Internacional de Cinema), Sound Design (SP Teatro) and Sound Design for Performances (Oficina Cultural Oswald de Andrade). From 2015 to 2017 he was partner and sound operator at Cardeal 2100 music studio. From 2016 to 2018 he’s collaborated as instrumentalists in Luedji Luna’s album Um Corpo no Mundo, which won the Expressões Afro-Brasileiras award at the Caymmi Festival in Salvador, BA. From 2018 to 2021 he’s worked as producer and coordinator of Editora Leviatã, which has supported over 350 Latin-American emerging artists.
His Transfônico project began as improvisation research using prepared instruments and sound objects, moved through the areas of audio-visual and performance and expanded to the current fields of interest.
