Hari Maia on SoundBetter

Multi-awarded film composer, I specialize in creating cinematic scores for films and commercials, blending synthesizers, orchestral elements, and ambient textures to enhance horror, drama, and thriller narratives. I’m passionate about composing music that elevates emotion, deepens storytelling, and brings every scene to life.

With over 5 years of experience as a film composer and music producer, I have worked on multi-awarded films such as: "Amado Pai" (Best Soundtrack), "Duas Coxinhas", "Checkmate", "O Ladrão de Olhos", "Diálogo Macabro" and many others.

As a Composer Producer, Mixing Engineer Master Engineer myself, I have released a bunch of music under my own name on all streaming services which I compose, produce and also did mixing and mastering.

That being said, I can help you with:

- Original score to evocke emotions through the music and bring scenes from your feature film, short-films or commercial to life
- Delivering mixes and masters that bring out the true character of your music, ensuring it translates beautifully across any system. I’ve worked with a wide range of genres, and my approach is always the same: highlight the strengths already within the track and refine them so every detail stands out with clarity and impact.
