Life and career[edit]
Morrison is a classically trained pianist. Starting piano lessons at the age of four, he began composing and competing through CMC, Kiwanis Music Festival, Richmond Hill Music Festival, and ORMTA - Ontario Registered Music Teachers Association.[2]
In his early high school years, Morrison discovered Techno from a friend in his science class, and started collecting vinyl and becoming absorbed. He then worked at Release Records for five years before starting his own record label mau5trap Recordings.[3]
As a DJ and performer he entertains with melodic progressive house and big-room club sounds.[3] His first international hit was in 2007 when DJ Tiësto featured ‘Contact’ a track ghost produced by deadmau5 on his compilation In Search of Sunrise 6: Ibiza[4] and it shot to the top of the World Dance Charts.
Pine Mastering[edit]
Through Mastering, Morrison has worked on sound design for video game companies like Leisure Suit Larry, Toy Story, Activision and CareBear Inc.. A partnership with Toysus for electronic music focused on sound-scoring live theatre visuals. Morrison and IMAX unveiled this concept with a 3 part show series at the 2012 ComicCon .[5]
