Happy to have created the music of “Água Morna”, a fascinating documentary directed by @mr.pedro.caldeira and @senhor.paulinho @tripe.producoes!

I’m thrilled to share with you that I just finished the music for “Abrogation” by the American director and actor Franklin Livingston. This is the first feature film that I was honoured to score for and I’m happy that I did it because the story touches some very important and relevant issues in today’s American society. I hope to share more news about it soon!

I’m soooo excited with this news! I’m a finalist on the “Berlin International Film Scoring Competition 2023”! It’s a honor to be one of the 10 finalists. The final result will come out in March, but this is already a big accomplishment for me!

Thanks a lot to everyone that helped me in a way or another. Special thanks to Sam Yahel, Pedro Caldeira, Film Scoring Academy of Europe, Alexander Aaroen and Ana Elisa Pereira for the thoughtful insights!

I’m glad to be working with creators João Pires and Diana Sousa Lara on their new theatre play called “A Última Dança”. It will premiere 9 and 10 September at Teatro Experimental de Cascais. It has been a great experience writing music for theatre!

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. Lately, I have been exploring, reading, experimenting and immersing in film scoring. To dive more into film scoring I decided to write music for the Indie Film Music Contest. Here is the soundtrack I created for the incredible short by Nick McLean.

I’m thrilled to invite you to be part of my new project “Lost in Translation”. Wanna be part of it? Easy, just go to my Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign page and learn more about untranslatable words, expand your lexicon and hear new music. I would mean the world to me to have you by my side!

I’m thrilled to share with you that my very first song book “André Carvalho Compositions Vol. I” is out! Since the beginning of my music journey, having access to musical scores was obviously helpful. I hope that this book helps you in your sonic journey and inspires you to unveil your music personality. Included in this book are some of my favourite compositions from all my albums as leader and also two unreleased compositions. Please visit my Store if interested!

I'm happy to tell you that I've been awarded the Fundação GDA grant to record.

Thanks to Fundação GDA for continuously helping and supporting artists. This grant is a huge step forward to releasing new music, hopefully soon! Stay tuned!

Dear friends, just uploaded a new video from “Lost in Translation” last concert at the Hot Clube de Portugal in August 14th, 2020. “Kalpa” is a Sanskrit word that means the passing of time on a grand and cosmological scale. Here, it’s being performed by André Matos (guitar) and João Almeida (trumpet).

We will be premiering new music at the Hot Clube de Portugal (August 14th) and we hope you can check it out! Concert will be streamed here.

I’m extremely happy to tell you that “The Garden of Earthly Delights” was selected as one of the top 10 best Portuguese albums of the decade by ArteSonora. Thank you so much for featuring my latest album among so many fantastic artists and albums. You can read the article here.
