01 Film Audio
Sound direction, production recording, design, editing, and mix for short film, television, animation, and documentary. The work moves from the first sonic idea through final delivery.
About
A practiceshaped bylistening,systems,and collaboration.
Sound direction, music production, and creative tooling — for cinema, performance, and live instruments. Based in Palmas, Tocantins, Brazil.
Three movements. Four areas. One thread.
I work at the intersection of film sound, music production, and creative tooling. My practice moves through cinema — sound direction, design, and mixing for film and television; music — production, mix, and master for independent Brazilian artists and bands; and code — Max4Live devices, generative audiovisual systems, and live instruments.
Across all three, the thread is the same: I build instruments — acoustic, digital, conceptual — to make work that is specific, situated, and accountable to a place. Recent work includes O Compositor, winner of Best Portuguese Horror Short at MOTELX 2025; the EP Rinoceronte for Luzo Cairo; RC Surface (PolyForm Noncommercial 1.0.0) and RC Setlist, Ableton Live tools built for real performance contexts.
The path has been geographic as much as technical. I spent six years in the Palmas music scene as a composer, guitarist, and producer, then worked between Brazil and Lisbon while completing a BA in Sound at Universidade Lusófona. I returned to Palmas in 2025 carrying the tools and habits of both scenes.
The work connects those scenes through Lusófona and REANIMA for audiovisual practice, AMMP for Portuguese television, Artpalco for recent series work, the Madison Museum collection for Kakofoni Orquestra, and the Aldir Blanc / PAAR grant behind Rinoceronte. None is a permanent home; they are passages through one practice.
02 Music Production
Production, recording, mix, and master for independent artists, shaped by the Palmas and Tocantins scene — small rooms, recurring collaborators, and records built from local continuity.
03 Creative Coding
Max4Live devices and generative audiovisual systems organized around real-time signal flow. The tools feed the art, the art feeds the tools, and both share patches, modules, and live risk.
04 Live & Experimental
Festival curation, live sound, livecoding, and installations rooted in collective production. A piece either survives the room or it does not; the stage keeps the studio work honest.
