He then graduated with a Masters in Music from Hunter College .

After Zarvos along with Peter Epstein , the jazz album Dualism and as a leader, the albums labyrinth and Music Journal resumed, it was the Brazilian director Paulo Machline who met him in 1999 in a New York nightclub, and asked for his short film Uma História de Futebol the Compose music.

Quote

"I think the main attraction [of film scoring] was the possibility of experimenting and combining a wide variety of musical styles including rock, without the constraints of a three-minute song format or preconceptions about genre."
