José Pedro Canário Bica 

07/12/1989, Portugal

 

 

  "When I was a 7 year old kid, I remember hearing a music from Garbage called "Push it" when I heard a drum beat that reminded me of a locomotive or a train speeding. Because of that specific drum phrase I started to learn drums. Later on my path I found out that it was a specific kind of drum sample, very well known in the Drum and Bass genre, called Amen break, originally played in a funk music style by The Winstons in "Amen brother"."

Since my early years, I have been deeply interested in sound. My techniques and knowledge extend beyond sound itself to how it propagates through space and interacts with various forms of media, such as painting, sculpture, video, dance, and theater. My research focuses on soundscape, sound effects, music production and composition, acoustic ecology, acoustics, and psychoacoustics, all within the context of communication.

 

My curiosity about interactivity and diverse programming environments has led me to explore the use and manipulation of field recordings to create sound pieces for installations. I also experiment with poetics and textures in a musical context, pushing the boundaries of sound design.

 

Over the past year, I’ve worked on several documentary and fiction film projects in the sound department, taking on roles such as sound recordist, sound mixer, sound editor, sound designer, and mix engineer for television, cinema, and commercials. I've also been involved in artistic residencies, dance performances and theatre pieces as a sound artist and music composer.

 

Currently, I work as a freelance sound artist, sound recordist, and re-recording engineer. I’m also part of the resident team at Kino Sound Studio, where I contribute as a sound designer
