WELCOME TO MY VIRTUAL HOME…

I am a composer and sound artist. I enjoy creativity and art as a way of living, with a curious mindset and a sensitive approach. I believe in art as a way of connecting, and in the artist as a messenger of the abstract and the unknown.

Be part of this journey as we explore the world through sound, share ideas, and learn from one another.

Exploring storytelling through sound.

-Sara Sacoto

MEET ME:

I am a composer and sound artist specializing in music for film and audiovisual media. My work focuses on building narrative-driven sound worlds, where music functions as an emotional, psychological, and structural element of storytelling.

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Media Music and Film Scoring, with academic training from institutions such as Berklee Online and JAM Music Lab, and I am currently pursuing advanced studies in electroacoustic and experimental music at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna (mdw). This background allows me to move fluidly between cinematic language, contemporary music, and experimental sound practices

Featured Projects

Red Bull challenge

The productions I crafted during a Red Bull challenge highlight my inclination toward hybrid scores and sound design–focused music.

Memento Mori

Memento Mori is a purely instrumental piece for string orchestra in which I explore themes of life and death through evolving textures, harmonic contrast, and expressive string writing.

Town Glitch

Town Glitch is a thriller film where I was responsible for the score. Through a distinctive hybrid soundscape, I sought to draw the audience into the characters’ experience in a town where every moment becomes increasingly unsettling

MY PHILOSOPHY

I believe in art as a window to reflect not just on ourselves at the deepest level, but also as a way of reflecting on humanity and its most abstract and visceral parts. Art can be beautiful and comforting; however, it can also be uncomfortable, but honest. As artists, we have the duty of finding the sounds, colors, or traces that allow us to transmit our own experiences, as well as the imaginary worlds we create.

Fiction, romance, and drama are all part of our lives, but art helps enhance them, feel them intensely, and also observe them closely.

In a world full of consumption and fast-trending entertainment, art especially needs to bloom, to remind us who we are and where we come from. To remind us of the ephemeral nature of life, and that we are all the same: creatures of skin and bone who feel, who love, who hate, who emigrate, who move, who persist, who hurt, who heal…

We are human.

I am an artist who uses sound as my brush, and the truth as my compass. I build my sonic visions to fit the stories we create together.
