Mathieu Vanasse

Mathieu Vanasse has been working in television, cinema and advertising since 1999, the year he graduated with a master degree in composition from the University of Montréal. His work counts multiple landmark series and international motion pictures.

His experience with rock keyboards, his mastering of classical writing and his eclecticism make Vanasse a composer of impressive versatility. From brit-rock smash-hits to heartbreaking string arrangements, he has it all to convey the right tone and feeling to a movie.

With more than 20 TV series to his record, including PLAN B (2017), Mon ex à moi (seasons 1 et 2, 2015-2016), Les Pêcheurs (5 seasons), Yamaska (7 seasons), Nos Étés (Gémeaux Awards for best music 2008), La Vie Rêvée de Mario Jean, François en Série and Pure Laine, along with many documentaries, for the past six years, Vanasse has also started working on motion pictures such as Nous sommes les autres by Jean-François Asselin (nov 2017), Rêves de Poussière (Dreams of Dust – by Laurent Salgues) and Comme tout le monde (Mr. Average – by Pierre-Paul Renders).
