Starring Michael Bernier & Kandy Harris
Born and raised on Long Island NY, Michael Bernier started out on violin and drums. After playing in many projects in and around New York city Michael moved up to the Hudson Valley where he developed a project called Fugue. Fugue was/is a collective endeavor with a rotating personel to convey his original recordings from his solo multi~instrumental album "Solo Fugue" where he plays drums, violin, bass, guitar, tablas and Chapman Stick. While playing at a performance Michael was approached by Tony Levin (Peter Gabriel, King Crimson, John Lennon, Pink Floyd etc.) who wanted to know how he could go about getting Stick lessons from him. A short while after Tony Levin released his album"Stickman" where Tony credits Michael for "Advanced Stick Techniques". Currently Bernier is in "Stickmen", a trio with Tony Levin and King Crimson drummer Pat Mastelotto. They will be performing their first show in October in Poland.

Hi Michael! I am the one that you chatted with before the Madrid gig (the one that was looking how to find her tix, LOL!) I might not realised exactly what you said, but didn't realised you were one of the Stick Men! And your performance was amazing there and Barcelona. So thanks for the music! (and the chat!)
Hi Michael! I do it this way: it's actually a combination of fresh and frozen fruits and berries; sugar and dairy free. This time it was 1 banana, 1 frozen pear and 3 frozen plums. Peel everything, then grind in a blender and enjoy the delicious dessert!
hey! we are trying to change something... our new singer erik can't be a full member of dreamscape because the stess to travel a lot is affecting his health. so we decided to work with more than one singer - honestly we will work with even more than two... hopefully you will like that idea! we like it a lot because we will be very flexible and our sound will become even more complex! kind regards! DREAMSCAPE (progressive metal from germany) (new cd november 2009! - buy or let die!)
PS: always believe in your dreams! and don't get frightened if they are becoming real! - because for a believer they will!
