Anaïs Larocque

Anaïs Larocque is a SOCAN Breakout Composer of the Year and Gemini Award–winning Canadian composer.

Renowned for her atmospheric and poetic sonic signature, she draws upon a Nordic-inspired aesthetic where living textures, spacious orchestral writing, and a deep narrative sensitivity meet. Highlighting the organic warmth of strings and the intimacy of the voice, she crafts immersive soundscapes that infuse images with a dimension both intimate and cinematic. 

At the heart of her recent work is her landmark collaboration with director Marie-Julie Dallaire and conductor Yannick Nézet-Séguin for concert Symphony of Life and the film Murmurs, whose score was recorded with the Orchestre Métropolitain. Premiering at Montréal’s Maison symphonique, the film has also been selected for the CINEMANIA Festival. Her screen scoring work, recently recognized with a Gemini Award nomination for the documentary À mon chevet : Autopsie du système de santé, is also showcased in acclaimed films such as The Walrus and the Whistleblower (Hot Docs Overall Favourite / Best Feature Film), So Surreal: Behind the Masks (TIFF), and In the Jam Jar (Slamdance), as well as international series for A&E and TVO. 

Equally active in immersive and multimedia creation, she regularly collaborates with renowned institutions like Oasis Immersion and National Geographic (Root for Nature), as well as Moment Factory studios for large-scale international installations. An Associate Composer of the Canadian Music Centre and represented internationally, Anaïs Larocque approaches every project with a bespoke touch, driven by a profound desire to engage with the director’s vision and leave an indelible sonic imprint on their images.
