Sound artist and producer Nicolas Bernier is one of Montreal's most unique and respected musicians in his field. Utilizing old machinery--everything from type writers to tuning forks--and mixing them with modern electronic soundscapes, Bernier blends the old with the new in captivating manners. Best known for his work with compatriot Martin Messier under the moniker La chambre des machines, Bernier's avant-garde solo sounds have continued to develop, as he works toward his PhD in sonic arts at the University of Huddersfield.
