GizmoMusix, Tu És Meu Fado
year 2023, duration: 04min 33sec

"We often forget that tomorrow doesn't exist yet. Time doesn't wait; it disregards whether we are prepared or not, and sometimes, in an instant, it can become too late...

The actions that never happened and the words that remained unspoken haunt us from within. The time that has passed hurts us. We mourn the farewells, memories embrace us, and the pain eventually fades away."

Inspired by a true story that deeply moved the composer, 'Tu És Meu Fado' reflects these poignant emotions through its narrative. Entrusted with full creative freedom, I took on the journey of translating this personal tale into a visual and auditory experience. I was responsible for scriptwriting, location scouting in the scenic Algarve and historic Lisbon, and managing the local production including casting and setting scenes that authentically represent the song's essence. Additionally, I introduced an MC/rapper to blend modern expressions with the traditional sounds of Fado, enriching the project's contemporary appeal.

Aimed at competing in the IPMA - International Portuguese Music Awards, which recognizes the artistic achievements of Portuguese descent artists globally, this music video stands as a celebration of cultural heritage and personal expression. 'Tu És Meu Fado' captures the melancholic beauty of Portuguese Fado, offering a story of love and loss that resonates universally.

Karoline Kaminski, People
year 2023, duration: 03min 58sec

Singer and songwriter Karoline Kaminski has released her new single "People" on 3rd February 2023. The song is the first track off of her upcoming EP "Preto" due on May 5, 2023. Infused with a blend of folk, pop, and soul, which she calls Avant-Pop, Karoline sings about the importance of true love and humanity's wasteful handling of it. Coinciding with the release, the music video for the song made its premiere and was played on MTV Germany, among other music videos from talented artists. With minimal arrangements and big emotions, Karoline is not afraid to express herself. "People" revolves around the rarity of romantic love and how people waste it. The songwriter pondered why people believe that everything in life must have a lesson, and sings, "People try to learn their lessons, hoping there's a lesson to learn." Her conclusion is that responsibility is often outsourced to sugarcoat everything and find an excuse. Despite this, "People" is a tribute to true love.

The music video was shot at Bernardim Ribeiro Theater (Teatro Bernardim Ribeiro), in the Portuguese city of Estremoz.

The course encourages collaboration between participants and artists, resulting in the creation of tangible works for various art projects. Participants gain hands-on experience in a real production environment, while artists receive a promotional video for their projects.
