Biography

Camacho was born in Funchal, a city in Madeira, and started learning composition with Argentinean composer Roberto Pérez in his home city's Conservatoire and Arts School.

After three years, Camacho moved to Lisbon, where he continued his studies in the National Conservatoire for another four years with composer and teacher Eurico Carrapatoso. As a pianist, Camacho started with teacher and musicologist, Robert Andres, and then with the Portuguese teacher, Melina Rebelo.

Pedro continued to learn with Carrapatoso until 2006 and, after his long classical training on composition and orchestration, Pedro was taught film scoring in Berklee College of Music.

Camacho claims that composing has been an important part of his life since he was ten years old, when he started composing short musical pieces using the vintage tracker program OctaMED on an Amiga 500.

Camacho's career in concert music began in 2011, when he was commissioned to write the Requiem to Inês de Castro by which premiered in March 2012.{{Cite web | publisher = Direcção Regional de Cultura do Centro | title = Requiem de Inês de Castro – Orquestra Clássica do Centro | url = http://www.culturacentro.pt/evento.asp?id=1228 | accessdate = 2013-01-04 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150402123856/http://www.culturacentro.pt/evento.asp?id=1228 | archive-date = 2015-04-02 | url-status = dead | publisher = Diário de Notícias Nacional | title = Coimbra inova com primeiro concerto digital em Portugal | url = https://www.dn.pt/inicio/artes/interior.aspx?content_id=2914713 | accessdate = 2013-01-04 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150923230803/http://www.dn.pt/inicio/artes/interior.aspx?content_id=2914713 | archive-date = 2015-09-23 | url-status = dead | publisher = Diário de Notícias Regional | title = Engenheiro madeirense compôs Requiem a Inês de Castro | url = http://www.dnoticias.pt/actualidade/5-sentidos/315257-engenheiro-da-madeirense-compos-requiem-a-ines-de-castro-que-orquestra | accessdate = 2013-01-04 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20160304032114/http://www.dnoticias.pt/actualidade/5-sentidos/315257-engenheiro-da-madeirense-compos-requiem-a-ines-de-castro-que-orquestra | archive-date = 2016-03-04 | url-status = dead | publisher = Samsung Newsroom | title = Samsung coloca Tecnologia ao serviço da Música | url = http://www.newsroomsamsung.com/2012-11-26-samsung-coloca-tecnologia-ao-servico-da-musica | accessdate = 2013-01-04 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20121130030356/http://www.newsroomsamsung.com/2012-11-26-samsung-coloca-tecnologia-ao-servico-da-musica | archive-date = 2012-11-30 | url-status = dead | publisher = Computer World Portugal | title = Concerto para orquestra, coro e tablets (vídeo) | date = 27 November 2012 | url = http://www.computerworld.com.pt/2012/11/27/concerto-para-orquestra-coro-e-tablets-video/ | accessdate = 2013-01-04 | archive-date = 2021-08-28 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20210828030315/https://www.computerworld.com.pt/2012/11/27/concerto-para-orquestra-coro-e-tablets-video/ | url-status = dead | publisher = zwame.pt | title = Samsung coloca a tecnologia ao serviço da música | date = 11 October 2012 | url= http://pr.zwame.pt/2012/10/samsung-coloca-a-tecnologia-ao-servico-da-musica/ | accessdate = 2013-01-04}}
