Hailing from Vancouver Island, Liam Ross Gibson is a composer, keyboardist, and educator currently pursuing a DMus in composition at McGill University. His music draws inspiration from processes found in the natural world, and seeks to make connections between Western notated music on the one hand, and his experience as a performer in jazz, rock, and contemporary electronic music on the other. Gibson's music has been performed by groups such as Ensemble Éclat, Tsilumos Ensemble, Continuum Contemporary Music, Quatuor Bozzini, and the Winnipeg Symphony. He has been the recipient of commissions, awards, and grants from the SOCAN Foundation, la Société de musique contemporaine du Québec, and the Canada Council for the Arts. Since 2019, Gibson has been collaborating with Aliayta Foon-Dancoes and Paul MacIntyre as part of the interdisciplinary collective THIRTYMINUTES, whose activities include hundreds of short form works for social media, gallery exhibitions in Berlin and London, collaborations with poet Luke Hathaway and sound artist/sculptor Marla Hlady, and the recording of their debut album in May of 2025. Gibson holds a MMus in composition from the University of Manitoba, a BMus in composition and theory from the University of Victoria, and a diploma in jazz piano from Vancouver Island University, and has studied with Chris Paul Harman, Denys Bouliane, Matthew Ricketts, Gordon Fitzell, Örjan Sandred, Christopher Butterfield, Dániel Péter Biró, and John Celona.
