Ludwig Paredes is a Composer, Multi-instrumentalist and producer with over 15 years of experience composing for film, TV and advertising. Known for his impressive versatility and creative range, his portfolio extends from cinematic Latin American music to epic orchestral trailer scores and arrangements.
My work features among others a blend of Latin American instruments—including ethnic flutes and woodwinds—along with full orchestral orchestration. This creates a style that often recalls Gustavo Santaolalla. Recently worked as an Arranger and recording musician for the HBO series "Como Agua para Chocolate" season 2 produced by Salma Hayek.
I've also had the honor of participating in masterclasses with the legendary Pedro Eustache.
