Final Fantasy is the stage name of composer and musician Owen Pallett, a standout figure in indie and modern classical music. From the early 2000s to today, Pallett has pushed boundaries with inventive string arrangements, intimate storytelling, and a distinctive looping, multi-instrumental approach. He first gained broad acclaim under the Final Fantasy moniker from 2004 through 2009 before releasing music under his own name starting with Heartland in 2010. A Polaris Prize winner for He Poos Clouds (2006) and a Polaris shortlistee for Heartland (2010), Pallett has also contributed to film scores, including co-composing the Her (Original Score) soundtrack, earning an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Score in 2014. His fifth studio album Island (2020) was released on Domino, following Has A Good Home (2005) and He Poos Clouds (2006).
