Chris Gestrin

Chris Gestrin is a Vancouver-based multi-instrumentalist, composer, and sonic explorer who’s become a cornerstone of Canada’s experimental jazz and film scoring scenes. Known for his fluidity across pianos, synthesizers, and electronic textures, he’s spent decades collaborating with artists like Dan Mangan, Peggy Lee, and John Scofield while crafting atmospheric solo work. His recent projects range from the meditative improvisations of *Live At The Thomas Ave Grill* to cinematic adventures like the *American Conjuring* soundtrack, showcasing his knack for bending genres. Whether scoring films (*Songs She Wrote About People She Knows*), reissuing career-defining work (*The Varuna Sessions*), or crafting pandemic-era introspection (*After The City Has Gone: Quiet*), Gestrin thrives where jazz intimacy meets electronic experimentation. His 2020s output proves he’s still masterfully blurring the lines between composed elegance and spontaneous discovery.
