IGF Excellence in Audio award-winning composer Pedro Macedo Camacho writes and orchestrates music for video games, films and TV. His successful and solid classical composition background, excellent synthesis skills and Jazz experience gave an unique and distinctive sound to his numerous cinematic projects like Audiosurf, Sacred 2, 3DMark11, Fairytale Fights, A Vampyre Story, Ghost Pirates, among others. Pedro Camacho started learning composition with the talented Argentinean maestro and composer Roberto PĂ©rez in his home city Conservatoire. After two years he moved to Lisbon where he continued his studies in the National Conservatoire in Lisbon 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 one of the extremely rare students ever to achieve this score in the entire Conservatoire''s history (since 1835). 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 other jazz masters, like Pedro Moreira, , in the most famous Portuguese Jazz School, "Hot Clube Portugal". As a former RTS Pro-Gamer, Pedro Macedo Camacho is also known for his competitive gaming passion and skill on popular RTS and FPS games. |
