Gerardo Prieto
Senior Intern
Alumni of the Contemporary Music Composition degree at TAI (Transforming Arts Institute), based in Madrid (Spain), I’ve always had a passion for music and its profound connection to the visual arts. My journey in the music world began in my hometown, Oviedo, where I delved into the realms of musical language and theory independently, driven by a deep fascination with the fusion of music and visuals, particularly in the context of cinematography, video games, and other forms of audiovisual storytelling.
Recently, I took part in the Screen Music Program in Pavia, Italy, where I had the incredible opportunity to learn from renowned composers such as Clint Bajakian, David Buckley, Sonya Belousova and Giona Ostinelli, Carlos Rafael Rivera, Ryan Shore, Alyson Plante, and Luca di Giuda, among others. This experience not only expanded my knowledge but also allowed me to meet and collaborate with talented composers from all over the world. I am currently diving into the world of video game interactive sound implementation using FMOD, Wwise, and Unity, further broadening my skill set in audio production and integration.
During my academic journey, I had the privilege of interning as an assistant to renowned composer Lucas Vidal, where I honed my skills and developed an in-depth understanding of the intricacies of composing music for film and various visual media. This enriching experience allowed me to witness firsthand the creative process behind crafting evocative soundtracks that enhance the storytelling experience.
Currently, I’m proudly associated with Music Addict, a part of the Universal Music Group family. In this dynamic role, I’m privileged to collaborate with an exceptional team and contribute to the creation of music that resonates with diverse audiences. My work here allows me to continuously explore new horizons in music composition and share the magic of melodies that elevate the human experience.
