François-Xavier Dupas Email & Phone Number

Growing up in a scientific family, I was immersed in a world of computers, video game consoles, and classical music. This unique environment fostered my passion for music and its technical aspects, from composition and orchestration to electronic music and sound design.As a versatile composer and audio artist, I hold a doctorate in music composition from the University of Montreal. My career spans classical composition, touring as a jazz pianist and harmonicist, and pop songwriting, with a particular interest in ethnic rhythms, electronic styles, and sophisticated harmonies. My work has been featured in major franchises such as Dungeons & Dragons, Star Trek, League of Legends, and Squid Game, as well as indie successes like Ultimate Chicken Horse and Tribes of Midgard.In 2013, I co-founded Vibe Avenue with Mathieu Lavoie, establishing it as a premier audio and music provider for games and visual media in Canada. In 2023, Vibe Avenue was acquired by SIDE Global and rebranded as SIDE Montreal. As Lead Composer and Creative Director, I continue to drive our mission to deliver world-class music and sound design, helping SIDE Global become a "Complete Audio Creative Partner."I am passionate about blending diverse musical influences and cutting-edge technology to create innovative and immersive sound experiences.---### Skills:- Music Composition & Production- Orchestration- Music Design- Artistic Direction- Project Management- Integration in Audio and Game Engines (Wwise, FMOD, Unreal, Unity)- Mixing- Scripting (Python, Pure Data, Max/MSP)---
