Nuno Canavarro (born 15 November 1962) is a Portuguese composer. [1] He studied architecture in Oporto. He learned to play piano at a very young age and was in a band called the Street Kids. He also played with the Portuguese band Delfins, and with Carlos Maria Trindade ( Madredeus, Heróis do Mar). He is also responsible for the 1988 experimental music recording: Plux Quba. This record was a strong influence on the sound of many postmodern electronic musicians, including Mouse on Mars and Jim O'Rourke. O'Rourke re-released Plux Quba on his own Moikai label in 1999.
Nuno Canavarro has also composed music for Portuguese films including Fintar o Destino, O Gotejar da Luz ( Light Drops), 14 de Fevereiro (a 1 de Abril), "O Jogo da Glória" and Janelas Verdes. He also produced a DVD about his father's experience in the Portuguese war and composed original music for the DVD, Elefante Dundum (2007). He also directed a 2008 movie called Casa da Montanha.
