Musicalizations
I had the opportunity to work with a great 3D animator to do the composition and musical production of his animated short. In this case, I use a composition technique called "mickey mousing", using all the instruments of the orchestra.
Re Score
On this occasion, I used one of the scenes from Shrek movie to make a new musical composition with the orchestra; adding some foley sounds and creating a new atmosphere to the original score of the scene.

Soundcloud
On SoundCloud I upload my orchestral compositions, original songs, transcriptions, and covers. Which I recorded and performed in my home studio.
Songwriting
An example of some of my songwriting compositions.
Orchestral
2022
Symphonic style song with the orchestra sections (strings, brasses, percussion and voice).
electronics
2017
Currently, this song is made up only of voices. It has no instruments, so the electronic sounds are modifications of my voice made with synths.
Pop rock
2018
Pop rock style song, with contemporary instruments. (Electric guitar, bass, drums, piano and voice).
Acoustic
2021
A piano composition with voice harmonization and a style attached to Asian folklore. The lyrics tell a little story.
Dubbing
Lending my voice to dubbing characters into Latin Spanish is a hobby that I am preparing to master. This is a fandub of Kokomi, a character from the popular video game Genshin Impact.
Interpretations
As a pianist and soprano singer, I like to perform the most emotional pieces of music. The ukulele and the kalimba are my allied instruments.
Piano
Interpretation of the magnificent work of Frédéric Chopin. Nocturne in C sharp minor.
Sheet Music / MIDI Score
From compositions with ensembles of few instruments to those with a full orchestra. In all of them, I write and edit their respective score (original score). This is helpful when performing with live musicians or studio recordings, or just for someone to learn the composition. Whatever the case, having the sheet music before or after producing the song is an important thing.

Arrangements
One of the most beautiful ways of making music is to make an arrangement. The melody and harmony of an already established theme are used to turn into something new. Changing the musical genre and adding instrumentation. In these examples, I share some of my musical arrangements with their score.
Airegin
by Sonny Rollings
A famous Jazz standard in which I make an arrangement with all the saxophones, creating melodies and counter melodies to give it a lot of vitality.
Score/Airegin
Gladion
by Minako Adachi
In the video game "Pókemon Sun and Moon", this theme is really beautiful, so I decided to use a brass ensemble to create a Jazz and bossa nova style.
Score/Gladion
Ballad of Goddess
by Koji Kondo
From the popular "The Legend of Zelda" videogame, I decided to make a small tribute to this beautiful orchestral theme using a brass ensemble.
Score/Ballad
My Favorite Things
by Richard Rodgers
I could say that "My favorite things" is my favorite jazz standard in the world. That's why I decided to make this brass arrangement with a very swinging and happy feeling. Totally Jazz.
Score/My Favorite Things
Transcripts
Transcribing music that already exists not only helps you improve as a composer and upgrade your musical ear, but also provides new ways to analyze and learn from it. Here I share a couple of my transcriptions and an orchestration of a classic work.

Modal Harmony
Modal harmony is a branch of harmony that, unlike tonal harmony (major and minor), is characterized by using different modes of the scale. To name a few, Locrian, Doric, Mixolydian mode, etc...
​
Each mode has a characteristic and often atonal sound. Which can be a very useful tool when composing. Arriving at unusual and sometimes strange colors for the common listener, but which is widely used to create new artistic expressions in contemporary music.
I share some of my favorite modal compositions with their score to understand their harmony and structure.
Polymodal Ballad
Funky
Bossa Nova
Electronic Ballad
Before finishing...
Thanks for listening. It makes me really happy to share my work and I would greatly appreciate your support on my social networks and donations.
As a small gift, I share this cover in Kalimba with my bunny "Luna" :)
