ONLOOP – Composition and Sound Research  is a creative center at PUCPR University, responsible for the production of sounds, music and research in the area of ​​computer music. The nucleus was created by PUCPR professor Claudio Carvilhe with the initial objective of training music undergraduates to produce soundtracks. In the second half of 2015, the undergraduates underwent a training period in order to be able to develop music for digital games. Also in 2015, a partnership with Technology in Digital Games graduation course was established, making it an immediate first customer.

Since 2015, Onloop has been responsible for producing sounds and music for LAJE at PUCPR (Laboratory of Electronic Games). In 2016, it started a partnership with PPGIa in research involving sound and music producing. At the PPGIa (Sound Research context) several students completed their master’s and doctorate degrees in the research line of Computer and Music Technology. More information about Onloop is avalilable here.
