Nicolas Bernier’s initiation into musical creation was through popular music. However, his curiosity quickly brought him to electroacoustic composition. His love of experimentation has inspired him to develop acousmatic compositions, live electronics, installations and art video, as well as music for dance, theatre and cinema. In the midst of this eclecticism, his artistic concerns remain constant: the balance between the cerebral and the sensual, and between organic sound sources and digital processing. He has collaborated with many artists from a variety of artistic spheres, inclucing choreographer Ginette Laurin, director Denis Marleau, musician Delphine Measroch, guitar player Simon Trottier, sound artists Alexis Bellavance, Érick D’Orion, Hélène Prévost, Jacques Poulin-Denis. In 2006 he created Ekumen, a microorganism dedicated to the dissemination of sound art. In 2008 he took on the art direction for Réseaux, a major Canadian electroacoustic concert producer. His works have been broadcast at various festivals around the world including AKOUSMA (Canada), Mutek (Canada), DotMov Festival (Japan) and Transmediale (Germany), and have won many awards.
