I am Geneviève Gros-Louis, a Huron-Wendat composer, violinist, and music producer bridging Indigenous tradition with contemporary cinematic sound. Based in Los Angeles, I create story-driven, heart-led scores by starting with world-building, selecting an intentional tonal palette, and shaping themes through instinctive improvisation on violin and piano. Guided by deep listening, research, and cultural care, my work aims to reveal what’s unspeakable and leave an emotional imprint that stays with listeners beyond the screen.
