About me
From full orchestra and choir, to purely electronic scores, I have done a bit of everything and adapt my music to what is right for the project and what the director needs. I am the co-founder of Light & Sound Scoring, a New York based film music company. I recorded guitar for many films including: two scores for Oscar-winning director Michel Gondry (“Be Kind Rewind,” and “Interior Design” from the “Tokyo” triptych), as well as recordings with acclaimed film composer Jean-Michel Bernard (“The Science of Sleep,” “Human Nature”). In total my music can be heard in a dozen films, including David Donnelly’s “Forte”, Richard Témtchine’s “How to Seduce Difficult Women,” two new scores for silent masterpieces by Georges Méliès for full orchestra and choir, and the prize-winning documentary “Tijuana nada más...” (2009) by Yolanda Pividal and Carmen Vidal, the winner of a student Oscar.Additional skills:
I can play any guitar-like instrument (I have a collection of 32 of them), and use synthesizers, drum machines, and even an innovative midi guitar.
Music editing at the highest level, with dozens of tracks, primarily on Pro Tools and Logic. Extremely fast music copying and arranging primarily in Sibelius. Music production of all kinds in all styles.
I speak 6 languages, 4 of them without accent.
Industry awards:
Multiple Grammy pre-nominations for best composition, best arrangement, and producer of the year, as selected by Naxos Classics (of the top 4 classical music labels).
IPMA (International Portuguese Music Awards): multiple nominations and one win in 2017 for best instrumental.
ASCAP Plus awards in 2015 and 2016.
