Anésio Azevedo is a Brazilian sound and visual artist, professor of philosophy, and postdoctoral researcher at McGill University’s Schulich School of Music, under the supervision of Marcelo Wanderley. His research focuses on immersive audiovisual installations that use environmental data—particularly from the Mata Atlântica and Cerrado ecosystems—to explore the intersections of ecoacoustics, generative processes, and emotional responses to climate change. Performing under the artistic name stellatum_, Anésio’s work spans sonification, field recording, and spatial sound design, constructing both real and imaginary ecologies through sound.

He has released works such as Projeto: Mata Atlântica (Calathea Experimenta) and Projeto: Cerrado, and collaborates with artists and researchers across Latin America to develop decolonial and transdisciplinary approaches to environmental sound art. His practice engages with sound as a form of situated knowledge and political listening, and he is currently developing immersive formats for planetariums and educational outreach.
