Sara Pinheiro

(1985) is a sound-maker.

Pinheiro graduated in Cinema (Lisbon, 2008) and holds a Master of Music in Sonology (The Hague, 2012), where she has been a guest lecturer since then. She teaches sound at CAS – FAMU, Prague, since 2013. Her academic work is practice-based research under the name of “Acousmatic Foley”. She is currently a PhD student at The School of Music and Media, in the Bangor University (Uk), under the Parry Williams scholarship.

For film and video-art, she does sound recording, editing, foley and mixing. In her solo practice, she makes acousmatic pieces, usually for multichannel performances, radio broadcasts or installations. Her work crosses practices of sound design for film with concrete and acousmatic music. It blends natural and artificial soundscapes via field recordings, foley practices and signal processing.

Pinheiro is a member of the live-coding group K-o-l-e-k-t-i-v and the noise trio SHLUK. She is also a regular collaborator of Synth Library and Arteacta, both in Prague. She facilitates soundwalks and listening sessions since 2012.
