My name is Andreu Diport, and I am a composer, orchestrator, and arranger from Barcelona, now based in LA.
The narrative element of music has always captivated me, and I strive to serve the picture efficiently and authentically.
I have a solid musical foundation and a deep interest in innovation. I combine old-school rigor with the sound freshness that new technologies make possible.
I studied Screen Scoring with a full-ride scholarship at the USC Thornton School of Music, learning from great instructors such as Lolita Ritmanis, Peter Golub, Pete Anthony, and Garry Schyman. There, I received the Harry Warren Scholarship and the Joe and Alice Harnell Scholar for Screen Scoring award.
To date, I have scored several short films in collaboration with the School of Cinematic Arts (USC) and beyond. My most recent project is "Sardinia" (2024), a short dystopian drama written and directed by Paul Kowalsky, starring Olek Krupa, Breeda Wool, and Martha Plimpton.
Previous education and experience:
I began my musical education at the Montserrat Abbey Choir School (Escolania de Montserrat), the "Oriol Martorell" Artistic School, and the Municipal Conservatory of Barcelona. I pursued composition studies at the Catalonia College of Music (ESMUC) under Bernat Vivancos and Mauricio Sotelo. Later, I continued my studies with Paweł Łukaszewski and Tomasz Opałka at the Chopin University of Music in Warsaw, sponsored by the "Fundació Universitària Agustí Pedro i Pons". I also participated in the Screen Scoring program of the Accademia Musicale Chigiana before attending the USC Screen Scoring MA, sponsored by the "La Caixa" Foundation.
In the concert music world, I regularly receive commissions, especially for choir, and have collaborated with numerous performers and venues, such as the Palau de la Música Catalana (Barcelona's main concert hall). Additionally, I have won several composition competitions and received other recognitions.
