Biography
As a Montreal artist and composer, I write music in many different styles, whether contemporary classical, pop, rock, electronic, or film music, being particularly interested in chamber music and the integration between traditional instruments and live electronics. Besides appearing in several short films and a documentary, my works have been directed by Lorraine Vaillancourt (of the Nouvel Ensemble Moderne), presented at the Society for Arts and Technology and in the City of Montreal’s Maisons de la Culture, and won one of the 2009 University of Montreal’s composition awards.
After six years of teaching at undergraduate level at the University of Montreal (where I am also completing my PhD), I am currently working as assistant professor at Concordia University. However, I broaden my field of composition to various projects outside the university, trying to create a bridge between contemporary music and influences from the underground rock circles. In addition to my composition and teaching activities, I am also a DJ, blogger and I lead an electronic project named Fade to Grey.
