Star Citizen Music
He was a huge Wing Commander fan. He played Wing Commander I with his father who passed away shortly after.
When he saw the kickstarted campaign video he sent an email to Chris Roberts with some of his latest classical work, Requiem Inês de Castro and some video game music he had been composing for several years. Chris responded and Pedro started composing music for Star Citizen.
One of his first ever MIDI tracks, composed in early 2006, was bought by Cloud Imperium Games for Star Citizen., which was a demo for the Synthesyzer Rob Papen's Blue.
When he started working on Star Citizen he was also hired to work on The Witcher 3, initially to help the main composer then as a composer himself, and at some point he had to choose between the two games and chose Star Citizen.
He described his music in this project as a tribute to all SciFi fans, a warm thank you to all backers and a homage to his father.
He also wrote that the New Babbage Theme was a homage to his daughter, born in 2017. "She can lift an entire house with her laugh and bursts of happiness" and that was the motif for that theme.
