The Great Animal Orchestra was one of the books about field recording I took more pleasure and knowledge from. A lot of what I looked for in field recording was expressed here, with lightness, amusement with a new level of environmental consciousness. And so, as you can imagine, it was with great joy that I […]

“Loving our work, self-care & recording the world”
Hi, hello! I know it has been a while, but here I come with some updates and resources for you. This summer, yours truly has been invited to a handful of awesome podcasts. All within slightly different approaches although centred in my field recording activity. The first took place with Akash Thakkar, who you might […]
A personal note of a white artist stand on the Black Lives Matter Movement
With the emergent rise of protests against police brutality and systematic racism, it has become increasingly important that we become active voices against racial discrimination. I am writing this note trying to not pollute the web with redundant content, but I find it important that the readers of this blog are assured I do not […]
Freelancing with Sanity – a quick guide to be an awesome respectable badass
For the past 5 years I have been freelancing as a sound mixer and now exclusively as a sound editor & designer. If you had at least one client as a freelance artist I am sure you know already at least a couple of pitfalls to avoid. The freelancing life can be great if you […]

How to keep yourself from killing the director
This is a post with the collaboration of my friend and director Sérgio. We will both share our thoughts on our process creating and communicating between a sound designer and a director. This idea came up long time ago when we were both whining about the people we were working with and for; and the realisation […]
To Work for Free or Not To Work for Free – That is the Question, but it Shouldn’t…
Hello! I don’t pretend that this post goes under a “career advice” tag, but following my last post from December, and since this is my blog, I know this is a very debated topic, at least in a lot of artist’s minds. This may also concern extremely low budgets, like the payment being what you […]
2013 Work-Life in Review
Well… this is a blog, right? I need to unburden a little. This year has seen so many up’s and down’s I felt sick many times. When it seemed that my career as a sound designer was kicking in, I got a punch in the face. A heavy one. But I am kind of glad […]
