“Lost in Translation - Vol. II”, is out!
I’m happy to share the release of “Lost in Translation - Vol. II” on Clean Feed Records!
As you know, “Lost in Translation” is inspired by untranslatable words such as Mångata (Swedish word for the road like reflection of the moon in the water).
The new album has the support of Fundação GDA, Antena2, Companhia de Actores and Teatro Municipal Amélia Rey Colaço and features José Soares (saxophone) and André Matos (guitar).

At the end of 2024, my friend Tiago Fernandes invited me to compose the music for Metamorfoses. I said yes without hesitation, even though I knew nothing about the project. And I’m so glad I did! With text by Bárbara Rosa, direction by Tiago Fernandes, and choreography by Catarina Clode Casqueiro, Metamorfoses became one of the highlights of the year. The play dives deep into anxiety and irregular humanities, offering a thoughtful reflection on the vital topic of mental health.
Creating music for such a relevant theme was an incredible challenge. It was even more special to work with a fantastic team and contribute to Theater and Dance, two art forms I truly admire. I’m deeply grateful for this experience, for working with Tiago, and for meeting Bárbara, Catarina, and the entire cast and crew at Teatro Amélia Rey Colaço. Creativity, respect, and attention to detail defined the whole process.
The music I composed is now available on digital platforms. I hope you enjoy it. Listen here.
The soundtrack for “Atom & Void” the mind-bending short film by Gonçalo Almeida, is finally live on most digital platforms!
Creating this score was a profound, inspiring, and deeply rewarding experience, and I couldn’t be more honored to work alongside Gonçalo and the incredible talent that brought it to life. Huge shout-out to Mariana Dionísio (for singing and choir assistance), Leonor Arnaut, João Neves, and to Diogo Ferreira and my long-time friend Tiago Sousa (sound engineer extraordinaire).
Listen here.
Thrilled to receive the “Best Original Music” award at Planos Film Festival for my work on “Canto”, directed by the incredible Guilherme Daniel.
A huge thank you to the jury for this recognition and congratulations to all the talented filmmakers and teams whose beautiful shorts were in competition—it’s an honor to be among such inspiring work.
Special thanks to Guilherme for trusting me to score his eerie and haunting short, to Raquel Reis and Otto Pereira for their stellar musicianship and to Luis Candeias for his brilliant mix.

Interview for Gerador, where I talk about “Lost in Translation”, its genesis, the recording and the whole process.
Cerebral e sensorial, Lost In Translation não pode ser meramente rotulado como free jazz ou pós-bop – aparententemente, o tipo de jazz que compõe este disco é, também ele, intraduzível.
