Film Scoring | Pouya Hamidi – پویا حمیدی

Member of The Screen Composers Guild of Canada

Pouya has had the privilege to work on many award-winning film productions including animations, short films, documentaries, feature films, promotional videos and dance videos. With his versatile musical language, he writes in a variety of genres and instrumentations. He has composed for traditional Persian instruments (“Naked till Night”), written orchestral music (“So Soon Forgotten”), and combined these approaches with electronic sounds (“Voorje”). These films have been part of many international film festivals, with screenings in Boston, Torino, and Lodz, among others. These projects included both recording and mixing, as well as the synchronization of audio to video, and working with digital audio workstations.

Pouya’s film composition skills are influenced by his studies at the University of Toronto, where he completed Bachelor’s degrees in both Composition and Piano Performance. Eric Robertson was his professor in film composition. Pouya’s current studies in Sound Recording at McGill University are expanding his palette of technical and sound engineering skills related to film scoring. Pouya believes that the possibilities of the relationship between music and images are immense; music emphasizes underlying emotions and messages, and manifests abstract themes, which makes it a perfect companion for film.
