I’m Marlene Lopes, a passionate composer with a deep love for creating music that enhances visual storytelling in film and media. I recently completed my degree in Recording, Mixing, and Production at the University of West London, where I developed a comprehensive skill set in music production, sound design, and foley. My journey into the world of sound has been driven by a desire to create immersive audio experiences that resonate with audiences. Currently, I’m working on an upcoming album based on nature documentary-style soundtracks. This project is particularly meaningful to me, as it allows me to combine my love for music with my admiration for the natural world. Through my compositions, I aim to capture the essence and beauty of nature, using sound to bring these visual stories to life in a way that is both evocative and engaging. Beyond my work as a composer, I have hands-on experience in sound design and foley. I’ve contributed to films such as “Long Walk” and “Matters,” where I was involved in the post-production sound process, including general mixing, foley recording, and sound editing. These experiences have deepened my understanding of how sound can shape and enhance a narrative, and I bring this knowledge to every project I undertake. Previously, I performed and arranged music for the “Carpe Diem Ensemble,” a group that provided live music for weddings and other formal events. In that role, I managed rehearsals and arranged music for the group, which helped me refine my leadership and collaborative skills, essential in both live performances and studio settings. I’m always open to new opportunities in composing, sound design, and foley work. I approach each project with creativity, technical expertise, and a commitment to delivering high-quality sound that enhances the overall experience. I look forward to bringing my passion for music and sound to new and exciting projects in the film industry.
