Manu Music · Manuel Castillo Obregón

Engineering.
Music.
Curiosity.

I’m Manu, a software engineer and pianist. I build digital systems, investigate how machines learn to listen, and make music with other people.

Ideas put into practice.

From production software to audio research: selected projects that connect both sides of my work.

Audio

Collaborative research · UPF

Collaborative research · UPF2026

Acoustic data augmentation to help chord estimation models handle noise, reverberation and changes in timbre.

Audio tool · In development

Audio tool · In development2026

An application for analysing and preparing podcast sessions, with automation suggestions and safe project copies.

Piano, production and conversations that turn into songs. At Wave Sonora, you hear composition as it happens.

I also taught music at university, connecting the classroom, the studio and the stage.

Fencing is part of my story too. Listening, anticipating and working precisely are habits I carry beyond the piste.
