BIOGRAPHY
ERIC F LEMIEUX

Eric F Lemieux is a composer, guitarist and Canadian poet who creates original music for all types of ensembles. He started playing guitar at age 12 and has written several soundtracks for film.

His influences are many and run the gamut from Renaissance intimate Gazpar Sanz’s counterpoints to contemporary electro-symphonic and from classical forms to flashy modern fusion styles like Alan Holdsworth’s. He aims at bringing together and drawing parallels between styles and universes that may at first appear at odds with one another.

Some of his guitar music has been published in distinguished guitar magazines around the world, amongst others in the German publication “Akustik Guitarre”. He currently teaches music and works on many creative endeavors in Montreal. His first CD release entitled “Three Suites for Guitar” is now available worldwide throughout the US classical music label Centaur Records.

His diversified musical studies have earned him a Masters’ degree in musical composition under the supervision of Alan Belkin at the University of Montreal. Past teachers have also included Jacques Hétu, Michel Longtin and Jose Evangelista.

“Eric F Lemieux did an amazing job writing the music score for “The Ante”. Composing over 30 minutes of original material for a 18-piece ensemble orchestra is no easy feat, especially on tight budget and schedule. Lemieux pulled it off with superb results. The score received great reviews and really helped the film stand out from the crowd. Lemieux has a proven track record of scoring highly efficient orchestral work on a feature film. The best is yet to come for this up-and-coming composer. We recommend him highly.”
