Marcos Sampaio is a professor and researcher in Music Theory and Composition at the Federal University of Bahia with over a decade of experience bridging composition, digital musicology, and computational music analysis. He holds a PhD in Music Composition and leads the Composition and Conducting program while teaching graduate and undergraduate courses in theory, composition, and computer music. His research focuses on melodic contours and music contour relations, and he has developed web and desktop tools—such as ContourMetrics, Beat Percussion Fever, and Music Star Blocks—that apply software engineering to musical analysis and performance. An accomplished bass player and composer, his works and arrangements have been performed by university ensembles and regional groups, reflecting a practical commitment to both scholarship and practice. Colleagues value his rare combination of deep theoretical knowledge, hands-on software development, and active involvement in ensemble performance.
