About
I’m Kristopher Rioux, a film and game composer from Quebec, Canada, specializing in cinematic, melodic, and atmospheric music. My style blends the emotional depth of orchestral instruments with the innovation of modern sound design, creating hybrid scores that merge strings, choirs, and brass with synths, guitars, and processed organic textures. Whether it’s science fiction, post-apocalyptic worlds, or thrilling action, my music is designed to transport listeners into stories that feel alive, immersive, and emotionally powerful.
My Story
My journey with music began in childhood, surrounded by instruments and movies that sparked my imagination. I first played the trombone in a small harmonie while also learning guitar, and later became a drummer in the Navy League Cadets. In my teenage years, I discovered electronic music production and began experimenting with genres like house, progressive house, and tropical house before eventually finding my true calling in cinematic composition.
Inspired by films like Transformers, Blade Runner 2049, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Interstellar, as well as immersive games like Subnautica, No Man’s Sky, and Call of Duty: Black Ops, I was captivated by how music could shape entire worlds and stories. That passion led me to pursue formal training at Recording Arts Canada, where I earned my Associate’s Degree and refined my skills in composition, mixing, sound design, and scoring.
Today, I specialize in hybrid cinematic music — blending orchestral instruments, choirs, and strings with synths, guitars, and morphed organic textures. Whether I’m creating epic action pieces, emotional sci-fi explorations, or haunting atmospheres, my goal is always the same: to tell powerful stories through music that resonates deeply with listeners.
Now, I collaborate with filmmakers, game developers, and creative teams to bring their visions to life through immersive soundtracks tailored to their stories.
