“To make machine music so imperfect that it would become more human than human, so we can’t tap the beat on a metronome but instead feel it the way you should feel it like a trek on the rocks that almost made you trip yesterday but all this naivete how could it be so you don’t care good neither do I.”
7 pop acousmatic roundabout trips with Milliseconde topographie’s Nicolas Bernier.
Also available in a CDR edition on the Ekumen label.
Electronic music that sounds like build from Lego, experimental Pop that carries beautiful melodies without kitsch or additional icing.
Sven Swift, Earlabs (Netherlands)
Le résultat donne quelque chose de très doux, très palpable, très musical…
Benoît Richard, Hop (France)
He’s an eclectic artist walking knee-deep in between acoustics and electronics.
Wundertunes (Germany)
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). → Full bio

nope, no news last week, we lacked some time for that, but we managed to release a new mini-album from camp, entitled is for lovers, with three fresh tracks that are, well, quite catchy it seems. in the meantime, the album broke popularity records (2100 downloads in a week!), partly thanks to a short review in de:bug magazine. as it’s written in german, we only understood the adjective “killer”, which we suppose means the reviewer didn’t hate it too much. anyway, camp is happy & he swears he’ll release more of that stuff soon. → Continued…

oops! you noticed it, we skipped a weekend. that’s true, but we’ve got an excuse: we were at the victoriaville festival. otherwise, as you can see, we’ve got two brand new albums, both from newcomers. hopefuls take notice: if you send us demos as cool as these, we’ll definitely want to release them on no type. → Continued…

well? for once, we’re right on time, & that feels weird. anyway. here’s a new free no type release, this time coming from our good friend nicolas bernier, whom you know (if you know what’s best for you) as one half of the well loved duo milliseconde topographie. this new album from the young montreal composer is entitled ail et l’eau faille, which ironically is an untranslatable pun which you can only understand if you know both french AND english. just sayin’ so you don’t start wondering what’s the matter with naming an album after garlic & water. so here you have a pretty bricolage of pop & acousmatics. you know, the kind of stuff you only find on no type. → Continued…
