Profile Information
- short bio
- (Listen to my music on http://freakywaves.com/http://www.myspace.com/vincentbergeron since the system here add glitches) Born december 21, 1979. Solitary child playing by himself 'cause he didn't understand why other kids wanted to be together to do the same things. Vincent decided to make music inspired mostly by his first hero, Björk, which is still one of his favorites among Charles Ives, Brian Wilson (Beach Boys), Captain Beefheart and so many others. In 1997, he started to play with sound softwares. Since 2003, Vincent composes music for several instruments including clarinets, saxophones, flutes, oboe, musette, accordion, trumpet, trombone, tuba, violin, cello, double bass, digital bass, harp, Russian gousli, luth, guitars of all kinds in an orchestra, voices (song, throat singing and accappella), drums and traditional percussions of all kinds, marimba, vibraphone, piano, traditional instruments from China and Japan, Indian tabla, church organ, electronic and electroacoustic keyboards, acousmatic noise, acoustic noise.... In 2004, Vincent developed an irrational, yet energetic, melodic and structured way of composing that excited him to the maximum. He also added his voice. Impossible music ! Since 2006, Vincent also studies cinema and literature at Université de Montréal. He prefers that to the corporate journalism that some people teach at Université Laval.

it rocks!
Check also Harry Partch... amazing music there...
I could not find where to listen at your music...
That infused my heart with fiery passion
Wafting aloft and all over
Mirrored in all intuition
Fear for myself no more echoed
As I soar high over abyss
Burning my fire I have not lost
For I have not misplaced your kiss
As I inhale the scent of flowers in bloom
Thoughts creative stay in motion
Compassionate universal
Kind in oceans of perception
And sunlight warms all directions
United in common continuum
We must nurture our creations
For we are here to love freedom
music is the ultimate arbiter
and Vincent at his best is utterly unique
not an easy thing to be!
as regards Daniel Forro....
he's really an okay guy,
and even we've had our rough stretches with posts and emails
He has some amazing music as well amongst his quite massive body of works, take some time and check it
mixed native language speakers is a hard fence to universally transcend .
so in all efforts to communicate, i stress patience----->and:
words are words
\deeds are deeds
And I have tried some so called algorithmic composition software, but results are still not so interesting to be useful. But this is big future potential here in MIDI as such special processing is still not possible with audio data. There's one exception, MetaSynth, but it uses different principle, graphic to audio conversion.
Besides, it's not always advantageous, for example despite I'm not so bad in first sight reading it's rather difficult for me to play from the score and transpose in the same time, so to see some notes and to play and hear different. It's not a problem of transposition itself, I can easily transpose notes and chords and chord signs when copying music or play. But there's a narrow connection in my brain between written score and notes, and when I read the score, I hear it. Also I have never used Transpose function in synthesizers - to play some notes and hear different ones is not so easy for me like for somebody without perfect pitch who is skilled with transposing.
When I was 15 and studied conservatory, my professor of solfeggio found my hearing ability, and when we did exercises and tests, he always asked me to sing written music in opposite direction (from the end to the beginning of exercise, which is not so easy because rhythm is also reversed), to sing note names from the score, but he gave me different starting note - to make it more difficult for me. So I have seen for example note A, sang "A" but real sounding note was transposed, maybe F# or Bb. Nice, not?
Greetings to Dan Stearns!
1982-1986 I used mainly audio recording, since 1986 mainly MIDI, and recently I try to connect both attitudes. Unfortunately I can't afford the newest computers and other necessary equipment, so I still try to find how to manage it. My 6 years old Apple G4 PPC is not so powerful, besides I can't use my Korg soundcards under OS X, and haven't external ADC box...
MIDI is very powerful when one knows it well which is my case after so many years working with it. Audio is too easy to use which is a temptation for many artists, and results are often uninteresting. I always selected more difficult and narrow ways in my life, they are not so frequented with traffic :-)
