10.10.2024 I am a Master in Acoustics!

It took me two long years of committed work and on-site studies to deliver this work! It was a demanding job, due to the novelty of the Soundscape theme in the scientific community and the endeavor in crossing two different methodologies from two different fields of study. The result is an acoustic evaluation of the main Natural area in my hometown - Choupal. Towards an assessement of human impact in the soundscape of Natural areas: Comparison study of ISO 12913 and Soundscape Ecology methodologies on the analysis of Mata do Choupal (Coimbra) is a contributive interdisciplinary study with an ecological stem, that investigates two methodologies' practices. It suggests a possible cross-pollination approach which integrates both [scientific and artistic] fields as a complementary narrative on the development of soundscape assessements on Natural/Wilderness areas.

05.06.2020 RadioShow Zona [ep. 2]

Yesterday the Portuguese artists came to the streets to express their unrest. This pandemic crisis came to reveal in a dantesc way the precarious and fragile outlines and conditions this sector has been living under. Long time has passed now, a change must happen. It needs to be re-structure, re-build and re-thought. I join portuguese artists cause with willingness for this change.
