Patricio Fraile is a Danish–Spanish composer who has made Copenhagen his artistic home. Blending classical, folk, and ambient elements, his music takes listeners on a heartfelt and poetic journey.
Rooted in his early training as a viola and clarinet player and his upbringing in the world of symphonies, Patricio’s work is defined by imaginative arrangements and emotional depth. His 2023 release The Expected Sounds of Minor Music on FatCat Records’ imprint 130701, followed by the single and video Morning – For Two Pianos (Piano Day 2024), has been featured on Apple Music Contemporary Classical playlists, Danish Radio DR P2, and BBC Classical.
Patricio’s recent work in film includes the score for the Danish feature My Eternal Summer, directed by Sylvia Le Fanu. Premiered at the 72nd San Sebastián International Film Festival and the 2024 BFI London Film Festival, the film went on to win the NDR and Baltic Award at Nordic Film Days Lübeck, and has been nominated for the 2025 Nordic Council Film Prize. Patricio’s soundtrackreleased in early 2025, enriches the film’s emotional core with a sonic tapestry of beauty, vulnerability and tenderness. One of his most heartfelt works to date.
Other notable credits include the score for the documentary Taliban Land (CPH:DOX 2022), directed by Nagieb Khaja a lullaby for the Norwegian film Handling the Undead (Sundance 2024), and music for acclaimed shorts such as Amourteur (2021), Abu Adnan, and the Prix Europa–nominated documentary Helvedes Homo (2020). Beyond film, he has written music for global campaigns and commercials with directors including Espen Sandberg, Marc Reisbig, and Stefan Pflug, for production houses such as Bacon, Motion Blur, and Thirsty Film.
Alongside his film work, Patricio is developing two new album projects: Gotas, a collaboration with guitarist Lasse Garcia that reflects their shared upbringing in musical “in-betweens,” weaving Nordic stillness, storytelling guitar, and echoes of European and Latin traditions and Generous Clouds, an acoustically performed ambient solo album and concert experience for mixed ensemble, set for release on FatCat/130701.
