Biography

Tim Clément is a Canadian composer, multimedia artist, producer, and recording engineer whose work explores the intersection of music, landscape, storytelling, and immersive media. Drawing inspiration from the natural world and his Indigenous ancestral roots in Northern Quebec, he creates works that invite audiences into richly atmospheric sonic and visual environments.

​

Over a career spanning more than four decades, Clément has worked across recording, film, television, theatre, dance, multimedia installation, and immersive presentation. He is perhaps best known for his longstanding creative partnership with composer Mychael Danna, with whom he collaborated on numerous projects, including the Genie Award-winning scores for Exotica and The Sweet Hereafter. His recordings include Waterstation (1989), Wolfsong Night (1992), and North of Niagara (1995), a collaboration with Danna inspired by the landscapes of the Bruce Trail.

​

From 1990 to 1995, Clément served as Composer-in-Residence at Toronto's McLaughlin Planetarium, where he explored the possibilities of spatial music and immersive storytelling through 360-degree sound environments. Working with early Ambisonic and binaural technologies, he created multidimensional sonic landscapes designed specifically for dome-based experiences, pioneering approaches that continue to influence his artistic practice today.

​

His recent work includes documentary scoring, immersive multimedia projects inspired by the Canadian landscape, and the development of LIGHTS ABOVE CANADA, a fulldome production that brings together astronomy, Indigenous storytelling, original music, and visual art.

​

Through all of his work, Clément seeks to create experiences that deepen our connection to place, imagination, and the natural world.
