Pedro Macedo Camacho is an award-winning composer for video games and interactive media. He is currently working on the incredible and innovating MMO game FURY from AURAN and another A-list game soon to be unveiled. Pedro is also known for his orchestral work in the award winning short film "Stilt Walkers" and his electronic work promoting the synthesizers from the World Renowned Synth Creator, Rob Papen, like the award-winning Predator and Blue. Also, one of the distinctive characteristics of Pedro is his Hardcore Gaming nature. Pedro plays games since childhood and played (a lot) most major titles released until today in most platforms (Spectrum, C64, Amiga, PC, Playstation, Xbox and Wii). While still a teen, Pedro was even a StarCraft progamer and WarCraft III National Team Manager/Coach. 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 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). 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 other jazz masters, like Pedro Moreira, , in the most famous Portuguese Jazz School, "Hot Clube Portugal".
