I am a composer, keyboardist, and music producer with over a decade of experience creating original scores for film and audiovisual projects. Rooted in academic musicology (PhD, UAB) and hands-on studio practice, I craft music that serves the narrative — from intimate piano cues to layered electronic textures. My work spans dramatic shorts, documentary, and animation, drawing on expertise in synthesis, DAW production, and a deep background in music history and theory.
