Nós de Nós Dois – Short documentary (2025)

Movie by Taciano Brito and André Forecchi.

Synopsis: While traveling across the continent [South America], André and Davi discover that their fraternal relationship is also a reflection of their own existential issues.

Daydreaming in Hel – Ambisonics work (2024)

Ambisonics electroacoustic piece presented during Sonorities Festival 2024 at SARC (Queen’s University Belfast).

Programme notes | Daydreaming in Hel is a field-recording based immersive piece that mirrors the dynamics of a mind that cannot settle. Racing thoughts, associations and inner talk, constantly compete with the need to relax, stirring up brain fog and agitation. It is a dance of known and unknown elements competing for attention.
The environmental sounds that structure the work were captured in the peninsular town of Hel (Poland),
by the Baltic Sea. The piece spatial sound is delivered in 3rd order Ambisonics format

Another ADHD Dream – binaural work (2024)

‘Another ADHD Dream’ is an electroacoustic miniature piece composed for the online album mix​-​FOF​-​cv​-​bang!*

Binaural track | Listen on headphones | Bandcamp

Programme notes | “The mind sometimes goes round and round. “Another ADHD dream” is a sound representation of the discomfort of obsessive, short and repetitive dreams that can occur in individuals with ADHD. Voices that insist, tasks repeating themselves, accumulated energy and restlessness. The only solution is to wake up. Piece originally composed in Ambisonics and decoded into binaural format.”

* The album is the result of a partnership with the Brazilian Society of Electroacoustic Music (SBME) during the organisation of the ‘IV EIME’ (International Meeting of Electroacoustic Music).

Custom Reaper/ TouchOSC – DAW controller template v. 0.72 (late 2021)

This is an update* to the TouchOSC template I created to fit my own needs when working with REAPER (my DAW of choice). It’s not meant to replace keyboard and mouse actions, but to complement their functions and make prolonged editing and mixing work less tiring.


Download link (template, Reaper OSC config, and PDF manual)

 *This template was made with the new ultra powerful TouchOSC

It was created to accommodate my own needs when working with REAPER in different workflows (editing, mixing and sound designing).

It’s somewhat chaotic (I’m no graphics designer), but useful. So, I’m sharing it here, hoping it can help you, too! =)

AES Fall Show 2021 (workshop on Ambisonics and virtual microphones)

Another basic Ambisonics-related workshop to help people get into spatial sound.

All music examples were recorded at the Music Academy of Bydgoszcz. Thank you to everyone who helped and the students that volunteered.

https://sched.co/mKTp

Workshop description “In this workshop we will focus on multi-microphone setups for music production, using single Ambisonics microphone arrays. Ambisonics microphones are often used to record full spherical sound fields for different purposes, including virtual reality. But an especially interesting use of their spatial audio technology is the possibility to create beamformings (aka, virtual microphones) after the recording has already been done. To comment on this, this workshop will address Ambisonics recording, directionality/polar patterns, virtual microphone setup, and mixing. All this will be illustrated by practical audio/in-DAW examples of spatial recordings done in studio of several musical instruments. By the end of this workshop, you will understand the process from start to finish, being able to successfully use Ambisonics microphones as additional tools for music production. “

Rosa dos Ventos – Music album (2013-2017)

Claudio Lima’s 3rd album, Rosa dos Ventos, is an interesting project that brings together regional Maranhao (Brazilian state), pop, classical and electronic music. It’s a song album, with several music personae glued up by Claudio’s beautiful and powerful voice.

A long project, following the singer’s process of composition and repertoire selection.
In 2013, I started working on the album’s initial arrangements, defining its aesthetic direction. I worked on it for almost 4 years as arranger and producer.
In May 2017, I led a group of musicians for the album premiere concert, playing MIDI guitar, drums, pandeiro and synths.
