Pedro Camacho
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pedro Camacho born (September 4, 1979) in the city of Funchal, Portugal, and is a video game music composer
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".
