biography 
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, including choreographer Ginette Laurin, director Denis Marleau, guitar player Simon Trottier, sound artists Alexis Bellavance, Érick D’Orion, Hélène Prévost, Jacques Poulin-Denis. He his the founder of the sound art microorganism Ekumen, member of the media art organization Perte de Signal and he his the the art director of Réseaux, a major Canadian electroacoustic concert producer. His works have been awarded and broadcast in festivals around the world including Prix Ars Electronica (Austria), AKOUSMA (Canada), Mutek (Canada), DotMov Festival (Japan) and Transmediale (Germany).
