His music is performed and broadcast internationally and has been described by Alex Ross in the New Yorker Magazine as “alternately beautiful and terrifying”. Important accolades include 3 Juno nominations, an ECMA award, the 2016 Terra Nova Young Innovators Award , the National Grand Prize winner of EVOLUTION (presented in 2009 by CBC Radio 2/Espace Musique and The Banff Centre), and was the recipient of the Karen Keiser Prize in Canadian Music in 2004. As a leading composer of his generation, Andrew has been recognized by election to the Inaugural Cohort of the College of New Scholars, Artists and Scientists Royal Society of Canada.

French Biography

« Visionnaire de la musique nouvelle » selon le Centre national des arts, le compositeur Andrew Staniland est désormais l’une des voix les plus importantes et novatrices de la scène musicale canadienne. Ses œuvres sont interprétées partout sur la planète et sa musique a été décrite par Alex Ross (New Yorker) comme étant « tour à tour belle et terrifiante ». Souvent primé, il a notamment été mis en nomination à trois reprises pour un prix Juno, en plus de remporter un prix ECMA, l’édition 2016 du Terra Nova Young Innovators Award, le grand prix de l’édition 2009 du concours de création musicale ÉVOLUTION d’Espace Musique/CBC Radio 2 et du Banff Centre, ainsi que l’édition 2004 du prix Karen-Keiser de musique canadienne. Chef de file des compositeurs de sa génération, son mérite lui a valu en 2014 d’être nommé parmi les premiers membres du Collège des nouveaux chercheurs et créateurs en art et en science de la Société royale du Canada.

Compositeur affilié de l’Orchestre du Centre national des arts de 2002 à 2004, puis de l’Orchestre symphonique de Toronto de 2006 à 2009, Andrew Staniland a également été en 2005 compositeur en résidence au Centre de création musicale Iannis-Xenakis (Paris, France). Ses plus récentes commandes lui ont été passées par l’Orchestre du Centre national des arts, la Brooklyn Art Song Society, la violoncelliste Frances-Marie Uitti et les Percussions de Strasbourg. Également guitariste, Andrew Staniland s’intéresse par ailleurs aux nouveaux médias (informatiques et électroniques).

Actuellement professeur à l’Université Memorial de Saint-Jean de Terre-Neuve, il y a fondé le laboratoire de recherche en électroacoustique MEARL, où il dirige une équipe pluridisciplinaire ayant notamment inventé l’instrument numérique Mune (www.munemusic.com).
