Sound artist/composer/performer Nicolas Bernier derives from his previous frequencies project with an astounding new series — 299 792 458 m/s — and a first album on Acte!
Transfert/Futur is marking a shift from Nicolas Bernier’s rather reductionist approach of the previous series to a more expressive and colourful aesthetic. Drawing from science fiction, sound textures are artificialized within abundance of synthesizers, superimposed to create exceptionally organic compositions. In a very contemporary attitude, compositionnal processes are made obvious to the listener, while the sounds themselves are veritable ear candy.
LIYL complex rythmic patterns, lush synthetic environnements and a sci-fi inspired design.
