Bio

...........................................................................................

Pedro Camacho started learning composition with the talented Argentinean maestro and composer Roberto Pérez in his home city's Conservatoire and Arts School.




After two years he moved to Lisbon where he continued his studies in the National Conservatoire for another four rewarding years with one the best composers and teachers in Portugal, Eurico Carrapatoso.

Under his guidance, Pedro got A+ classification every year, becoming the second student ever to achieve this score.




As a pianist he started with the Croatian teacher and musicologist, Robert Andres, and then with the Portuguese teacher, Melina Rebelo. He got an A in the final exam in Lisbon. Also Pedro was one of the very few students to finish the eight years learning program adopted in Portugal for musical theory and ear practice in just four.




Composing is an important part of Pedro's life since he was ten years old, when he started composing short musical pieces on the vintage OctaMED program, a tracker for Amiga 500.




Side by side with this classical learning process, Pedro continuously learned Jazz Theory, Composition and Piano with the pianist Jorge Borges and, more recently, in the most famous Portuguese Jazz School, "Hot Clube Portugal".

Title: Reflected Sunlight
Reflected_sunlight
Description: This music takes you to a distant place, a place that no words than can describe it, a world far beyond the ocean's horizon...
Title: SynthQuest Blue
1
Description: This music was selected as a featured demo of Rob Papen's BLUE synth, considered one of the best virtual synths ever made. Check out BLUE demo page. http://www.robpapen.com/synths/blue/mp3.php
Title: Gaia Under Attack
0
Description: I was told I had to compose a music that shows "Responsibility" and "Power". With this in mind I thought a traditional media orchestration was the best for this case. The melody is played in the strings, instead of the more common brassy melody.
Title: In Hell We Survive
8
Description: This music was composed as a demo for an AAA Developer. I think it successfully shows how to blend choir, orchestra, metal, synths and some sfx to provide the correct futuristic and apocalyptic atmosphere to the title music.

Hi Pedro, thank you for responding. I've just listened to your Orchestral_Action_Epic_Reel_vol1 on your homepage. It's a wonderful piece of music. I's like a passionate journey through different worlds, almost as if it were dreamt by a musical dreamer. Thanks for sharing.
All the best,

An award winning 141 days old member, and not yet one comment on your beautifull work. This we correct right now.
I suspect you are, or probably should be, a Jack Vance reader. Try one of his earlier works and you know what I'm talking about.
In Hell we survived shows a few simularities with Asturias. I'm a great fan of this epic atmosphere. It is a pleasure to listen to your music.
Kind regards, Tom
