Rodrigo Arribas - Music and Sound design

Hi! I'm Rodrigo Arribas,
composer and sound designer

 

I started playing piano as a child and writing my own songs on guitar as a teenager, and to this day I’ve never stopped. I've been playing live and writing music in several bands for more than ten years now, but it wasn’t until I finished my bachelor degree in Media Studies and my musical training at Katarina Gurska, that I decided to focus exclusively in media composition and sound design. I started out writing music for theatre and over time I got into fiction, advertisement and video games.

 

I’ve worked in three theatre plays with the company Bacalorio Teatro—the latest premiered at Surge Festival in Madrid—, I’ve scored the ad campaigns of brands like Manolo Bakes and Tartisstica, and designed the sound and music of four video games, two of them awarded at the PlayStation Talents in 2021 and 2022. Currently, I work as a composer and sound designer at Extra Nice Games, the studio in charge of the games included in the Unidice and the creators of the promising Schim, among other projects.

 

Apart from design and composition, I enjoy teaching and writing about music: I'm a professor at Carlos III University, where I teach the Music Composition Workshop, I write album reviews at Mindies and I do music analysis at Noise Chest, the music production website of bands like The Internet, Kali Uchis or Steve Lacy.
