“Of Fragility and Impermanence” Out Soon!
I’m delighted to announce that my new album, Of Fragility and Impermanence, will be released on November 7th on Robalo Music.
Exploring themes of fragility, vulnerability, and the impermanence of life, this project brings together an uncommon instrumentation and some of the most creative Portuguese musicians: José Soares (saxophone), Raquel Reis (cello), Samuel Gapp (piano), and João Hasselberg (electronics).
The first single will be out on September 5th — stay tuned!

I'm thrilled to share that "Atom & Void", directed by Gonçalo Almeida and featuring an original score composed by me, has been nominated for the 2025 Sophia Awards — one of the most prestigious film honors in Portugal.
The winners will be announced on April 27. I'm truly grateful to have contributed to this powerful film and to see it receive such recognition.
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).

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.
