ResumoOriginal and transformed samples of berimbau, cuica and zunidores sounds, instruments typical of Brazilian folk music, as well as synthesised sounds that emulate spectro-morphological variations of the sounds of these instruments, were assembled into the library of electronic sounds used in Coelho de Souza's Concerto for Computer and Orchestra . This approach had strong implications for the cultural identity of the piece and for the strategies of integration of the computer with the orchestra.
