JUSTIN WRIGHT is a composer, cellist, and multimedia artist from Montreal, Canada. After finishing his master’s in molecular biology, Justin left science to perform in bands of all sorts before eventually starting to compose, using the techniques he learned in recording studios. Justin’s primary composition tools, for both electronic and acoustic music, are his cello, Ableton Live, a modular synthesizer, and a 4-track tape machine. Lately, Justin has focused on filmmaking, early music, virtual reality, and in situ composition. He has opened for artists such as Johann Johannsson, Hauschka, Thomas Mapfumo, Lubomyr Melnyk, Colin Stetson, Okkyung Lee, and Mount Eerie, and has composed for Alarm Will Sound, JACK Quartet, and SO Percussion. This past summer, Justin travelled to Svalbard, an archipelago close to the North Pole, and serenaded the glaciers with the most northerly cello performances in history. He is currently a PhD candidate in composition at Princeton University.
