Hi, I'm Anthony William Wallace, a Canadian Screen Music Award-winning composer, sound artist, and interdisciplinary producer. I love merging orchestral writing with field recordings and environmental storytelling to create immersive soundscapes that bring narratives to life. With over ten years of experience, I've scored award-winning films and crafted music that blends classical instruments with ambient textures to deepen the emotional impact on screen. My work is deeply inspired by my classical training and adventures in wilderness fieldwork, often using unique instruments like Aeolian harps to generate original music. Currently, I'm based in Ontario and focusing on a chamber suite called Imaginary Landscapes, combining orchestral music with sounds from remote northern regions. I'm always eager to collaborate and explore the exciting intersection of score, sound design, and storytelling.
