Hi! My name is Carlos de la Fuente Lucas-Torres, and I am a freelance Composer and Sound Designer specializing in various media, including TV, films, and video games. A musician since the age of 7, I am a composer recognized with numerous national and international awards, including The Akademia Music Awards (Los Angeles), Paris Play Film Festival (Paris), Stafford Film Festival (Stafford), Global Music Awards (California), and the Berlin International Film Scoring Competition (Berlin), among others.
Currently, my professional career is focused on composition and sound design for video games. I have also had the privilege of teaching a master’s course in composition and sound design for video games, where I worked extensively on interactivity and workflow using tools like FMOD and WWISE, integrated within game engines such as Unreal Engine. My approach centers on bringing the sound and music experience to life in interactive environments, helping create immersive experiences for players
As a Composer, I have more than ten years of experience working with Wind Bands, Symphony Orchestras, Brass Bands, Street Bands, and more. I can bring your musical visions to life, whether it’s an epic cinematic score or an intimate, minimalist piece. From intense and thrilling tracks for trailers to deeply personal compositions, I tailor every note to evoke the perfect emotion. With expertise in top DAWs and music notation programs like Cubase and Sibelius, I ensure the highest quality in every project.
