Ilyaa Ghafouri

Ilyaa Ghafouri is a composer and sound designer for film and theater. A graduate of the Conservatoire de Musique de Montréal, his studies in experimental music focused on a hybrid approach. Combining concrete sounds such as natural ambiences with instrumental sounds is at the core of his artistic process. This allows him to draw from the sounds of the world around him to inspire his music. Composing for films, along with sound design, enables him to create coherent, thoughtful, and unique soundscapes. Ilyaa takes advantage of each experience to perfect his art.
