Life and work edit
He studied at Collège Marguerite-Bourgeoys and at McGill University, where he became inspired from a master class with Philip Glass. In the 1980s he was part of the rock band Tango Tango, before moving into television and film scoring.[3]
His career has spanned over fifteen years, and his other work includes Tony and Ridley Scott’s series The Hunger starring David Bowie; the films of Alain DesRochers, his long-time collaborator, beginning with The Bottle (La Bouteille); and television series Musée Eden, Nos Étés, Music Hall, Les Soeurs Elliot, Les Bougon, and Charlie Jade, an international co-production filmed in South Africa.
Le Sieur scored three films that premiered in 2011: drama Thrill of the Hills (Frisson des collines); comedy A Sense of Humour (Le sens de l'humour); and biopic of Quebec rock star Gerry Boulet, Gerry, for which Le Sieur remastered Boulet’s original tracks.[4]
Le Sieur won an ASCAP award in 2012 for his work on Being Human, a North American version of the British show of the same name.[5][6]
