Kim Gaboury

Kim Gaboury, a.k.a. aKido, composes music on the edges of rock, electronic and electro-acoustic genres. From blasting rock riffs to ethereal ambient sound textures, including highly creative IDM, he developed a versatile and unmatched cinematically influenced style.

Parallel to his work as aKido, Kim has gained a solid and varied background composing music for film and TV. He worked on the movie soundtracks of Une vie meilleure, Maurice Richard, Omerta, Coteau Rouge and the documentaries Inside the mind of Leonardo, IMAX: Operation Red Flag. He composed for the ad campaigns of Adidas Originals (Sid Lee) and ESPN Europe. Kim also scored and played for the live shows Shanghai Circus World, Cavalia and works regularly with Moment Factory for the scoring of their installations.
