<p>Languirand ist Sohn des Autors und Fernsehproduzenten Jacques Languirand und wuchs in der frankokanadischen Stadt <a href="Qu%C3%A9bec_(Stadt)" title="Québec (Stadt)">Québec</a> und teilweise in <a href="Mexiko" title="Mexiko">Mexiko</a> auf. Nachdem er als Jugendlicher sein Interesse an der Musik entdeckt hatte, nahm er nach Abschluss der Schule ein Studium der <a href="Kommunikationswissenschaft" title="Kommunikationswissenschaft">Kommunikationswissenschaft</a> und <a href="Elektronische_Musik" title="Elektronische Musik">elektronischen Musik</a> an der <a href="McGill_University" title="McGill University">McGill University</a> in <a href="Montreal" title="Montreal">Montreal</a> auf. 1978 erschien unter dem Titel <i>Minos</i> sein erstes Album, das deutliche Einflüsse der Musik von <a href="Pink_Floyd" title="Pink Floyd">Pink Floyd</a> und <a href="Tangerine_Dream" title="Tangerine Dream">Tangerine Dream</a> zeigt. Languirand, der auf dem Album alle Instrumente selbst spielte, experimentierte darauf in allen Stücken mit den Möglichkeiten, die ihm sein <a href="Synthesizer" title="Synthesizer">Synthesizer</a> bot.
</p><p>Auf dem Nachfolgealbum <i>De harmonia universalia</i>, das 1980 erschien, wandte er sich verstärkt der <a href="New_Age" title="New Age">New-Age</a>-Musik zu. Die Melodien des Synthesizers mischte er mit Elementen des <a href="Gregorianischer_Choral" title="Gregorianischer Choral">gregorianischen Gesangs</a>. 1981 schrieb er für die von seinem Vater produzierte kanadische Fernsehserie <i>Vivre ici maintenant</i> den Soundtrack.<sup id="cite_ref-amazings_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-amazings-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>Der größte kommerzielle Erfolg seiner Karriere gelang Languirand mit einem für sein Werk untypischen Stück. Zusammen mit der Sängerin Laurie Gill nahm er 1983 unter dem Projektnamen Trans-X das Album <i>Living on Video</i> auf. Auf ihm probierte Languirand einen Ausflug in die tanzbare Popmusik. Das als Single ausgekoppelte Titelstück entwickelte sich zu einem Welthit, von dem rund zwei Millionen Platten verkauft wurden. Die Single erreichte in Deutschland, der Schweiz und Großbritannien die Top Ten der Charts.
</p><p>Von <i>Living on Video</i> entstanden zahlreiche Remixe und Coverversionen, unter anderem von Trans-X selbst, <a href="Pakito" title="Pakito">Pakito</a>, <a href="Lazard_(Band)" title="Lazard (Band)">Lazard</a> oder <a href="Frozen_Plasma" title="Frozen Plasma">Frozen Plasma</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-living_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-living-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>Nach dem Welterfolg mit Trans-X zog sich Languirand vom Musikgeschäft zurück und lebte in den <a href="Vereinigte_Staaten" title="Vereinigte Staaten">Vereinigten Staaten</a>. Erst nach einer siebenjährigen Pause kam 1991 mit <i>Gregorian Waves</i> wieder ein Album auf den Markt, auf dem er musikalisch an seine ersten beiden Produktionen anknüpfte. Im Jahr 2005 erschien mit <i>Incanta</i> das bislang (Stand 2021) letzte Album unter seinem Namen.
</p><p>Pascal Languirand ist Mitglied der mexikanischen Discolocos.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
