Composers and arrangers Guy Dubuc and Marc Lessard (known by the creative alias Bob & Bill) are well known for their ability to blur the lines between genres and styles.

They have also produced several albums, including Monica Freire's Bahiatronica and Pink Floyd Redux, a collection of remixed songs from the British cult band, as well as the soundtrack album for the Cirque du Soleil show Kooza.
In 2004, Bob & Bill supplied the musical direction and arrangements for the Cirque du Soleil show Midnight Sun, as part of the 25th anniversary celebrations of the Montreal International Jazz Festival and the 20th anniversary of Cirque du Soleil.
Three-time nominees for a Quebec music industry ADISQ Award, the two sidekicks also created the music for several films and television series, and composed the music for director Robert Lepage's production Pageant de Canotgraphie. In 2008, the duo launched their first album, Crime Report, a work combining electronic and organic sounds.
Bob & Bill worked many times with Cirque du Soleil to create the musical arrangements for several special events. Since 2009, they also act as composers for Cirque du Soleil. They composed the music for Totem (2010), directed by Robert Lepage; Amaluna (2012), directed by Diane Paulus; Kurios - Cabinet of Curiosities (2014), directed by Michel Laprise; Joyà (2014), directed by Martin Genest; Allavita! (2015), an exclusive production at Expo Milano, directed by Krista Monson; Toruk- The First Flight (2015), inspired by James Cameron's Avatar and directed by Michel Lemieux and Victor Pilon.

The new production Paramour (2016), created specifically for Broadway, is their ninth show as composers for Cirque du Soleil.
