Composer of series such as Senna, Impuros, Amor da Minha Vida, and As Five, and of films such as Eduardo e Mônica, A Divisão, Irmã Dulce, and Boa Sorte, Fabiano Krieger takes us on a journey through the twists and turns a mind can take during the creative process of composing a soundtrack — from the search for references to the intersection of historical data and personal experience; from abstraction to materiality; from chaos to the attempt at control; from not taking oneself too seriously to… not taking oneself too seriously.It’s about creating while being at the service of another creation. Fabiano Krieger began composing soundtracks for theater in 1998, working with directors such as Antonio Abujamra, João Fonseca, Enrique Diaz, Leandro Muniz, and Michel Melamed on more than 50 productions.In 2012, he participated in the World Shakespeare Festival with the play Two Roses for Richard III, in a co-production with the Royal Shakespeare Company. From 2010 onward, he entered the audiovisual field, composing scores for film and television.In 2015, he was nominated for the Grande Prêmio do Cinema Brasileiro for Best Music for Irmã Dulce, and in 2022, he won the same award with Eduardo e Mônica. He also has two Best Music awards from the LA Brazilian Film Festival, for Eduardo e Mônica and Órfãos do Eldorado.Some of his recent works include Senna, Dona Beja, Capoeiras, Amor da Minha Vida, Impuros, Os Farofeiros 2, and Falas do Riso 2025, as well as shows and variety programs such as Caldeirão com Mion and Criança Esperança 2024.
