Biography
He grew up in São Paulo influenced by a wide range of music, ranging from psychedelic music to classical, hip-hop, Brazilian and electronic music. He started composing at the age of 15 using a computer and a MIDI controller and his main instruments since then have been the piano, synthesizer, drums and computer. Sound manipulation, using different sources, became a hallmark of his work, bringing him closer to electronic music and experimentalism.
He began his professional career in the late 1990s as a music producer and sound engineer. At the beginning of the first decade of the 2000s, he began producing soundtracks for theater plays, as well as performing them live. In 2005, he joined the Companhia de Ópera Seca, directed by Gerald Thomas, being responsible for the composition, sound design and live performance of the soundtracks.
In 2006 he started his film career with the documentary Days in Sintra [ 2] as composer, sound editor and sound re-recording mixer .
His work on the film industry earned him two nominations for The 3rd Platino Awards For Iberoamerican Cinema (2016),[ 3] and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences of Argentina (2015),[ 4] respectively, as well as three prizes of Best Sound Design at the Brazilia Film Festival (2010[ 5] and 2013[ 6] ) and Gramado Festival (2013[ 7] ).
He is best known for his work with directors Walter Salles , Marcela Lordy , Bruno Safadi e Eryk Rocha .
As a musician he is part of the Brazilian electronic duo NU[ 8] (abbreviation for Naked Universe), alongside the singer and songwriter Ligiana Costa.[ 9]
