I'm a musician/performer from Portugal, and started Sonic Pulsar with Carlos Mateus. I have 3 edited Cds produced and recorded by myself. Many music editors and publishers heard my music and liked it very much. I am 24 years old and started composing and recording my own songs at the age of 13. I'm a performer, composer and IĞm mostly a guitarist but also had piano lessons, this is why my music has different styles (New Age, Progressive Rock...). The Cds were recorded at Hugo Flores Studios and many people were surprised by the quality considering the equipment used. I like a rich sound with synthesizers, electric guitars and unusual instruments and samples. My music is widely appreciated by friends and professional musician/editors. I first started creating New Age music and afterwards began to explore other interesting musical genres. Some musicians/friends also help me with my music. To me music is a language and a way to show images and feelings.
Technology offers me a complete set of instruments ready to play 24 hours a day. It's great to visualize a song and be able to quickly record it and play it back. For example, "Where the wind goes" was made in less than a day. Emotions must always make the best use of computers and synthesizers. I try to transform and synthesize my emotions and views into a piece of music.

Reviews, etc...

Review by Ben Ohmart : "...The opening "Mistaken Gods" is pretty incredible. The guitar work is almost perfect, even by very professional standards, and this song rightly begins a highly progressive cd that does Not falter. The tunes are crafted with an elephant load of hot energy, with plenty of show off spots along the way. The man knows how to play..."

Review by Carlos Tavares : "...Hugo is an extremely talented guitarist and he makes sure we know it. His vocal style is surprising good here by adding falsetto background vocals that gel with the lead parts. In BIRTH OF A CITY the programming is top notch as is the composed structures embedded in this charming instrumental..."
