Screen Scoring

Vincent L. Pratte

I am a Canadian-born composer and have been writing music from a very early age. Although I enjoy composing concert music, film scoring has been a passion of mine for quite some time too. My work has earned me four first prizes from the SOCAN Foundation, which rewards the best young composers across Canada.

A dedicated worker, I have enjoyed many successful collaborations with young filmmakers on all sorts of projects. Though I am known for my lavish orchestral music (which I love doing), I have also been called upon to write different genres of music, including pieces for strings and jazz ensembles.

I look forward to meeting new people and to create bonds that, I hope, will transcend our brief time at this great learning institution. I am convinced that the greatest projects are born from the strongest relationships. So I make a point of being as authentic, professional and open-minded as possible.
