Erik Lankin

Erik Lankin is a composer and producer of New Classical music based in Montreal (Tiohtià:ke).
His music combines Classical orchestration with contemporary sound design and channels the full spectrum of emotion into instrumental soundscapes which are compellingly narrative and evocative.

From 2020 to 2023 Erik assembled a team of some of Canada's most accomplished Classical soloists and Neoclassical producers to realize his vision for his highly anticipated debut release: The Icarus Album.
The project reinterprets the myth of Icarus and Daedalus as a metaphor for losing his father to mental illness.

Erik’s music flows between grief and torment to find places of hope, triumph and healing, reflecting his personal journey of coping with loss and finding meaning in music. His work is a testament to his talent, passion, and courage as a composer.
He is dedicated to forging new paths for music to be expressed in the world.
