Hi, I'm David Brisson, a Montreal-based musician, composer and sound designer with more than 15 years of hands-on experience creating, conceiving and integrating audio for games, theatre and education. I am autonomous, collaborative and curious, with a passion for foley, multi-instrumental work and teaching. I thrive on shaping soundscapes, blending music and sound design to serve story, mood and interaction. Today I focus on computer-based composition, the link between sound and image, and interactive music projects that bring stories to life through sound.
