Hi, I’m Martin Pacheco, a passionate film composer, sound designer, and guitarist focused on cinematic scoring for contemporary media. I hold a BA in Composition for Contemporary Media (with a Minor in Music Business) from USFQ in Quito, and I’m constantly exploring innovative ways to blend traditional scoring with AI-assisted workflows. I enjoy collaborating with indie filmmakers and production teams to craft immersive soundscapes. My approach pairs strong technical skills in mixing and sound design with entrepreneurial thinking, enabling me to freelance, teach, and contribute to forward-thinking audiovisual storytelling.
