Canadian musician and composer Michael White, plays trumpet and modular synthesizers for film and television. He is busy as a session player, mostly remote these days, for a number of film composers including Andrew Lockington, David Buckley, Jon Goldsmith, Joe Trapanese, and Christophe Beck. As a composer, he has scored features, Netflix series, documentaries, and radio dramas. His scores and session work rely on his unique approach of blending modular synthesis with acoustic instruments and orchestra.

Some of the highlights of his performance career have been with New Music Concerts series in Toronto, playing trumpet with the NMC ensemble performing music by Cage, Kagel, Berio, Birtwistle, Globokar, and Tenney to name only a few. Touring with Bruce Cockburn, David Torn’s “Cloud about Mercury,” club dates in Toronto with Hugh Marsh, Roberto Occhipinti, The Henry’s, King Brand, Claude Ranger, and Freddie Stone. He also formed the group “Lonely Universe” with long time friend, drummer Michel Lambert, which toured Canada and recorded a self-titled album for the German label CMP.
