Film Scoring

Film scoring has always been a long time passion of mine. The ability to compose music for a film, to enhance the emotional and intelectual message of a movie is something that really interests me. After graduating from the post-grad program at the Film Scoring Academy of Europe as a grantee, I began working with international film makers, including multiple prize-winner Gonçalo Almeida and Guilherme Daniel. I was a finalist at Oticons 2023 (top 20), at the Berlin International Film Scoring Competition 2023 and received as honourable mention in the “Call for Scores 2022” by the European Recording Orchestra. I was also lucky to attend masterclasses with acclaimed composers such as Danny Elfman, James Newton Howard, David Newman and Eric Whitacre. In this section, you can check some of my recent scores.

Thriller/ Horror

Thriller and horror has always been a personal favourite of mine! Developing a thread that enhances the drama, taking the audience from A to B in a tense and visceral way is something that really excites me. Here are some of my cues where you will find traditional instruments blended with electronics, synths and eerie sound effects.
