Christian Bouchard is an electroacoustic music composer born June 19, 1968 in Québec City, Canada, and currently living in Montréal, Canada.

Following the completion of his college studies in guitar, he makes his first recording in 1995, "Factotum", devoted to the prepared guitar. At around the same time, he collaborates on the production of radio programs where he performs his first electroacoustic attempts. A year later, these compositions will grant him access to the Conservatoire de musique de Montréal. There he completes his master's degree under Yves Daoust and receives the Prize in Electroacoustic Composition. He receives several prizes in composition: the SOCAN Fondation Young Composers Competition (Canada, 1998); the Canadian Electroacoustic Community's competition "Jeu de temps / Times Play" (CEC, Canada, 2000); the biennial acousmatic composition competition "Métamorphoses 2002" (Brussels, Belgium). His music has been broadcasted in Canada and abroad, but it can also be heard on film and in installations. Christian Bouchard also works as a soundman and sound designer for film and video.
