Nicolas Bernier: biography
Nicolas Bernier (Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, 1977)
• residence: Montréal, Québec
• composer
Nicolas Bernier has been initiated to musical creation through popular music. His curiosity quickly brought him to electroacoustic composition, which he studied at the Université de Montréal in the classes of Robert Normandeau and Jean Piché. His love of experimentation inspired him to develop acousmatic composition, live electronics, installation and video art as well as music for dance and cinema. In the midst of this eclecticism, however, his artistic concerns remain constant: the balance between the cerebral and the sensual and between organic sound sources and digital processing. An inspired artist, he created the duo Milliseconde topographie in 2004 alongside composer Delphine Measroch. In 2006, he also created the artist collective Ekumen. He has won many awards for his works that have been broadcast in many festivals such as L’Espace du son (Belgium), Akousma (Québec), DotMov Festival (Japan) et Transmediale (Germany).
