Driven by his passion for music and his creativity, Francis Brûlé is currently completing a master's degree in composition and sound creation at the University of Montreal for which he obtained an excellence scholarship in winter 2024. He made his first compositions around the age of eleven and took his first piano lessons at the age of five. He completed a D.E.C. in jazz/pop piano interpretation at Cégep de Joliette in 2009, a bachelor's degree in music - writing in 2012 at the University of Montreal as well as a major in digital music at UdeM in 2022. In addition to having projects as a singer-songwriter in pop music and visual music, Francis is interested in music composition and sound design for video games. For his mastery, he aims to identify, explore and bring together the formal, stylistic and technical paradigms of the worlds of acousmatic/concrète music and popular music through the composition of a set of performative visual music works. This project aims to expand and enrich the composition techniques of the two musical universes by destroying the walls that may seem to isolate them from each other. A multi-instrumentalist, he is first and foremost a pianist, but also a singer and guitarist in addition to playing other instruments. He recently completed two sessions teaching computer-assisted music at Recording Arts Canada(RAC) in Montreal. Having varied interests, he completed comics courses, visual art and Aqtis 101 (to work on film and tv sets in Quebec) training. He has recently completed a two months residency (September 23rd to November 29th 2024) at the Centro Mexicano para la Música y los Artes Sonoras in Morelia, Mexico, in which he completed an album that will tentatively get a release in 2025. He will also release an EP on the Laboratoire Formes­•Ondes label in January 2025.…Driven by his passion for music and his creativity, Francis Brûlé is currently completing a master's degree in composition and sound creation at the University of Montreal for which he obtained an excellence scholarship in winter 2024.
