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 boredom of a reversed piano on a minor scale, 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 Philosophie Fantasmagorique (2006-07) :

"Bergeron supplies his vocals with a very bizarre and unheard 'background' of electro-acoustic sounds and music. Background into brackets, because he opens new dimensions with his curiously assembled music. Brilliantly done. He uses many different soundsamples for this music. Often you recognize concrete instruments, other elements are from electronic origin or recordings treated beyond recognition. I,m totally impressed by the carpet he weaves in with plunderphonic approach. Very original collage work, producing in an highly imaginative music that is totally fascinating. I would qualify his compositions as songs in the end. And for some reason I associate them with the world of opera and musical. The eccentric Bergeron creates energetic and dramatic music and textures, little psycho-dramas. He sings in french most of time, sometimes a mixture of french and english. I couldn't make much of it, but the texts are an important element for Bergeron [...] it is impossible not to be impressed by this often hilarious music, that is compelling and very listenable. Bergeron is a true original talent, of a kind that is seldomly met. Watch this guy! (Dolf Mulder)."

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."
