Liam Berry

Hey! I’m a composer from Winnipeg, Canada. I’ve worked in games, short films, podcasts, opera, live theatre, and the concert hall. My music has been played by solo pianists, symphony orchestras, Nintendo Gameboys, and everything in between.

I’m skilled in audio implementation (FMOD), arrangement, orchestration, and engraving, and teach piano, theory, and composition.

When that’s not enough I make video games, do talks, write stuff, and play music for traditional folk dancing with my friends.

Please email me at hello@liamberry.ca.

Rates depend on the requirements and timelines. Let me know about your project and I will happily send you a quote!

For a baseline, please refer to the Canadian League of Composers Comission Rates for concert music, and the Screen Composers Guild of Canada's "Working With a Composer" page for game, film, and theatre music.
