Tom Lachance (b. 1998) is a Montreal based Canadian composer whose research is
grounded in synesthesia, which is the perception of associations between different 
sensations. He notably uses visual or tactile input to generate musical structures and ideas. 
This exploration takes place in different forms using visual art and landscapes, or natural 
processes.
His works have been commissioned and performed by various ensembles, including the 
Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra, Paramirabo Ensemble, Nouvel Ensemble Moderne, 
Cobalt String Quartet, the TorQ Percussion Quartet, the Texas New Music Ensemble and 
Orchestre de l’Université de Montréal.
His music has been recognized by numerous grants from the Canada Council for the Arts, 
Conseil des Arts et des Lettres du Québec and LOJIQ. 
He is currently pursuing a PhD of Music Composition with Chris Paul Harman. He 
completed a Master’s at the University of Montreal in 2022, studying with Ana Sokolović

Composer. MMus @ McGill University. BMus @ University of Calgary. I enjoy working with miniature form, electronic, électroacoustique, audiovisual, and currently moving into sound/art installation/projection. My work is currently exploring intangibility of musical elements.

Musical expression that environmentally accompanies the manifestations of the being. With desire to inculcate stillness as the origin of the next experience.
