Joshua Zubot is a musician who spent his younger years honing his skills in the West.  During this time, Josh toured internationally with a violin group called Barrage.  Soon after, Josh delved into the world of improv and electronic music playing in numerous projects in Calgary, Alberta.  In 2005, he produced his first solo album, Crouched Head, on the Drip Audio Label.  It ranked #8 on the electronic Exclaim radio charts across Canada.

Josh then decided to further his studies in electronic music and moved to Montreal.  Residing here for 4 years he has finished his BFA in Electroacoustic Studies and now freelances mainly as a violinist. In 2007, Josh had the honor of having one of his electroacoustic pieces chosen to be part of Cache 2006, a compilation cd for new up and coming electroacoustic composers.  

Josh’s musical interests reside somewhere in the middle of jazz, free jazz, avant garde, contemporary classical, folk, improvisational, rock and electronic. Mainly, Josh is a performer/composer fusing many means of styles through the studies of electronics and the violin.

Along the way, Josh has played with numerous different groups and individuals.  Some collaborations were with Chad VanGaalen, Lori Freedman, Philippe Lauzier, members of Bell Orchestre, Pierre-Yves Martel, Michael Blake, Bernard Falaise, Rainer Wiens, Michel F Coté, Sam Shalabi, Miles Perkin plus many more groups and individual players.

Josh has played the Montreal, Calgary, Medicine Hat, L’Off Festival de Jazz de Montreal, Jazz festivals, Suoni Per Il Popolo, Sound Travels (Sound Art Festival in Toronto) as well as numerous festival circuits in Europe.
