"I've been moved to tears on multiple occasions listening to the incredible music by João Luís. He composed over 4.5 hours of music for our Rhythmn RPG Nocturne, which brings the characters and story to life in a way our community has fallen in love with. João took great care to deeply understand the game's story, and the emotional arc of the characters, to compose music that tells a narrative alongside the gameplay itself. The range of his work is staggering, from slow delicate strings, to heart pumping boss battles. The game wouldn't be the same without him. It's hard to find anyone who could match his level of passion and commitment, and I'd work with him again in a heartbeat."

"As a composer, João really got the movie and the role of music in the story telling, and that is actually rare, especially among the better composers. But most importantly, throughout the experience he made himself present to the emotional truth of the film, and he responded to it honestly. By putting himself into the music that he wrote, he elevated the score considerably."
