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. In 2004, he 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, he studies cinema and literature at Université de Montréal. He prefer that to corporate journalism that some people teach at Université Laval.
Vincent Bergeron
I’m available to work on your movie soundtracks, your video games or music theater performances (like Lalala Human Steps) of any kind. If you need any unusual sound effects, something different for your creation instead of the same low key boredom, please contact me. I can work really fast and on several projects at once without any problem.

About my three albums (2003-2007) :
To clarify things, I never studied music in New-York or anywhere and I compose my music by ear.
"In the course of a lifetime, one encounters very few major musical talents. Vincent Bergeron is one of those few, a unique composer who is at the forefront of musical thinking. I respect his music professionally and I admire it personally. I find it deeply impressive on every level--musical, intellectual, and emotional. In my opinion, Bergeron has had the vision and ability to create richly complex yet immediately accessible music that is both new and natural with beautiful harmonies, melodies and textures. Bergeron’s compositions precisely mirror my view of what new music ought to be."

About L’Art du Désarroi (2005-06) :
"Imagine yourself watching an LSD-orchestra playing symphonic cover-versions of Jaques Brel-songs through the lense of a broken kaleidoscope inside an almost empty movie theater, while listening to a practise-tape for drunken drummers on the headphones of your ipod. Imagine instruments in romantic entanglements at the border of the night, dancing in neonlight to an old shellac recording, with the needle skipping and flipping constantly. Imagine a bizarre dream of a medieval bazar, with the scent of onions and parsley and the sound of a prepared dulcimer being played by the wind. And imagine all of this packed intracks between four and nine minutes long, which follow no logic but their own and are held together by the acting of a pantomime. [...] It may appear to be a contradiction in terms, but believe me: Vincent Bergeron is a romantic."

About Casse-tête de l’Existence (2004) :
"No matter how versed you are in experimental music, you have never heard anything quite like Vincent Bergeron’s Casse-Tête de l’Existence (Puzzle of Existence). Imagine, if you will, plunderphonics coupled with progressive rock, and sample deconstruction and sound collage used as techniques to assemble hiccupping operas [...] the result sounds a lot like a bloodbath at a prog rock convention -- or the digital bastard child of Peter Gabriel-era Genesis and Fantômas. [...] If the basic material tends to give a unique orientation to each piece, it seems there is no limit to what Bergeron can make his samples do. Profoundly disturbing but ceaselessly fascinating, Casse-Tête de l’Existence is oddness to the umpteenth degree. Obviously, the world is not ready for this."
