Kristian North is a genre-agnostic songwriter, musician, and composer living in Tio’tia:ke/Montréal. Active since ~2003, he has written and performed original music as a solo artist and band member, touring widely across North America and Europe. This background informs a compositional practice rooted in chance, live performance, and collaboration. His soundscape composition Remiges won the 2023 Hildegard Westerkamp Prize (JTTP), and Mirror Life was a finalist at Totem Électroacoustique 2025. Recently, his creative scope has expanded into digital arts and multimedia, where he focuses on generative systems and analogue technologies, including visual music for lasers with collaborator Mike Cassidy. He holds a BFA in Electroacoustic Composition from Concordia University and is pursuing an MA in transdisciplinary research-creation.
