Hello everybody!
I hope I am posting this to the right place, if not sorry I am new to the forum.

Well, I am searching a opportunity to work doing compositions for Videogames.

So I am posting here a resume about my experiences and my portfolio as well.

Resume:
Guilherme De Alvarenga Carvalho Júnior

Was Born at Ouro Preto – Minas Gerais – Brazil, in December 11th, 1987. Graduated in Music by the Ouro Preto Federal University (UFOP), he started his musical studies at 16 years old, at Ian Guest’s Center for musical improvement(CIGAM) at Mariana city – MG, where he studied: Keyboard Musical Iniciation (1 year), Introduction to Piano Harmony (6 months), Rhythm and Sound (1 year and 6 months), Classical Piano (2 years), Sing and Vocal Technique (1 year). He studied Violin and Musical Theory with the teacher Elza Soares (1 year).
During the period he developed his studies at the UFOP University, he exercised activities related to music composition, acting as interpreter of his own works for Piano and as monitor of the subjects Harmony and Counterpoint. At the same period he devoted himself to studies of compositional techniques from classical music applied to the heavy metal’s aesthetics, also theme of his monograph, where he sought to demonstrate through the creation of a concept album possibilities of thematic development in a circle of songs and experiences related to the absorption of elements of the Sonata form in a song. He produced in his musical career a wide compositional material covering various musical styles.
Currently he teaches piano and keyboard at the Pro-music Music School in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, and works as a keyboardist in various musical projects, as well with composition of videogame soundtracks and short films, giving even further his research on application of compositional techniques of the classical music in popular styles, recently he was finalist in the International Composition Competition “New Scenes” promoted by The Deutsche Oper Berlin and the "Hanns Eisler" Hochschule für Musik with a partner with Instituto Gama de Arte.
