I’m Diego Mapa, a music arranger and producer with extensive experience shaping soundtracks and sonic identities for film, TV, and brands. I’ve earned Best Original Music Score at the Metro Manila Film Festival (2016) for Saving Sally and Best Original Music Score at Cinemalaya (2012) for Ang Nawawala, collaborating with co-scorers and a talented team along the way. Through Pulse Wave Studio, which I’ve led since 2012, I’ve built a studio practice around music, post-production, and sound design for diverse projects from independent films to big-brand campaigns. I love collaborating with directors, editors, and brands to craft expressive soundtracks, dynamic sound design, and precise audio editorial. My work spans projects for Amazon Prime, Nike, Adidas, Converse, Nestlé Philippines, Eva Air, and more, and I’m always excited to explore new creative challenges and help teams tell their stories through sound.
