About

Hi there! I’m a musician and composer born in the Azores, drawing influences from New Age, Electronic, film score, jazz, and classical music. I love blending traditional sensibilities with contemporary language, especially in documentary work.

Over the years I have collaborated with IRIS - Audio Visuais as co-director to create music for documentaries, TV and radio commercials, including the soundtrack for the short TV movie A DISTANT CHRISTMAS. I was recently hired to compose music for a British independent animation project in a gothic setting, creating several hybrid score pieces. I’ve also participated in recordings with Azorean musicians such as Luis Bettencourt and Aníbal Raposo and I am spending time publishing original albums that explore New Age and Electronic sounds.
