Luam Clarindo is a Brazilian musician, percussionist, researcher, and educator currently residing in Portugal. He studied percussion at the Conservatory of MPB in Curitiba with Vina Lacerda, Luis Rolim, and Toni Antoniacomi, learning techniques for drums, pandeiro, zabumba, cajón, and more. He holds a bachelor' s degree (2019) and a master' s degree (2023) in music from the Federal University of Paraná (UFPR), with a focus on sound production and creation. During his undergraduate studies, he wrote a monograph on modern techniques for the pandeiro and controlled improvisation routines. His master' s research focused on creative interactions between music and dance in free improvisation performances, both supervised by composer and professor Dr. Indioney Rodrigues. For his master' s research, Luam conducted interactive improvisation labs with UM – Núcleo de Pesquisa Artística em Dança, a contemporary dance group coordinated by Professor Dr. Rosemery Rocha, and with Improviso Dança e Música, a monthly event organized by Summus Contato Improvisação in partnership with UM – Núcleo, supported by the Curitiba Cultural Foundation. Beginning in 2017, Luam worked as the musical curator and collaborative musician for Improviso Dança e Música, where he created a free improvisation music group called Projeto Netuno. He continues his research on the relationship between music and dance within the context of improvisation, now in Portugal, collaborating with MusicDance Portugal and dancers Nicolle Vieira and Sara Paternesi in spaces such as Centro em Movimento (c. e. m) in Lisbon. In 2024, Luam began a PhD in Artistic Creation at the University of Aveiro, where he is developing a research project on improvisation with percussion instruments and live electronics under the supervision of Dr. Nuno Aroso and Dr. Filipe Lopes. His research aims to experiment with sensors and interactive systems to transform the cuíca into a hyper- instrument—a musical instrument augmented by digital technologies—for developing performances that incorporate the cuíca and live electronics.
