About
FX Dupas leads a double life. During the day, he'’s a top notch composer. At night, he turns into an audio mad scientist who samples underwater sounds, scripts audio engines, designs algorithmic compositions and mixes orchestral scores with hard rock guitars and electronic percussion. His passion for music, films and videogames drove him crazy.
Please be careful. DO NOT work with this guy. He is considered armed with the latest audio technologies and very, very dangerous. If you meet him, he will hypnotize you with supernatural sounds and music that reacts to your every move. Your audio world will never be the same again.
What’s worse, he'’s surrounded by a team of super talented audio ninjas (sound designers, mixers, audio programmers..). With their help, he has sworn to eradicate bad audio from the good city of Montreal, the land of Quebec and...… The rest of the world.
Good luck.
