Bergerrond (Berger Rond) présente la musique spasmacousmatique (all languages songs, schizophonia) de Vincent Bergeron sous son pseudonyme d'affirmation et de contradiction introvertie et extravertie. C'est dans le plaisir du jeu et de la complication volontaire et salutaire d'un monde meilleur. Ce monde on le voudrait plus honnête et expressif de réalités tangibles et en même temps fantastique et imaginaire, sans appui dans la réel. Nous y parlons bien de ces réalités souvent tenues dans le silence par peur des émotions et les extrêmes d'instabilité qu'elles peuvent amener (philosophie impossible ou trop facile, ennuyante à appliquer, relations sociales troubles, sexualité mal vécue, maladies mentales, environnements dangereux et à la dérive...). Cependant, le Berger Rond demeure une création imaginaire joyeusement à l'écart du concret. Également, Vincent peut lui-même être très rationnel et froid lors de la composition de ses instrumentaux alors il aime aussi se confronter lui-même pour mieux apprendre de la vie et en espérant aider les autres à sa manière. Il commence par aider les sons victimes d'injustice musicale par incompréhension. Il les accompagne et les encourage dans leur capacité à remettre en question les convictions bien pensantes. /// We talk really well of these realities often kept in silence by fear of emotions and unstable extremes that they can bring (impossible philosophy – or too easy, boring to apply – problems with social relationships and sexuality, mental diseases, dangerous environments, environmental causes...). At the same time, Berger Rond is still an imaginary creation that is joyfully not found in all things concrete or nice beliefs by average people.

Victor Erice - Spirit Of The Beehive - 1976

Another movie with a sense of innocence that children tend to censor really fast in their lives (for good and bad reasons). Not a movie you can feel if you only look for the story to follow with an half-dead brain and defensive attitude. One of the best movies I ever saw about a child inner life, hoping you can still access this part of you.

Yamamura Koji - A Country Doctor - 2007

I watched this short animated movie made for Adults many times. I still don't understand the story and most of the visual metaphors either. But I am fascinated by the many dimensions like I rarely am for so long. It is far from being only about the visual and sound dimensions like it is so often the case in most animated movies made by computer technicians (received on my yearly dense Ars Electronica compilation by example : http://www.aec.at/news/).

Berger Rond - Les fourmis d'ailleurs

Ce prochain projet demeure obscure pour moi aussi, je ne connais pas tout. Mon hommage au monde des insectes.
...

This next project is obscure for me too, I really don't see the whole picture yet. Perhaps it is still what was described here recently, perhaps not. I composed a piece for which I thought the keyboards and flutes and percussion noises reminded me of ants sometimes. For the moment, it is me pushing the limit of instrumental abstraction here. So this is my tribute to the world of insects !

Funny when I looked for one cello piece I was using without any info about it (not even the title was right, I didn't have the player's name, but was much amazed by the rich textures after 10's hours of composition), and find this :

Elle avait raison Hathor

$0.00

- Vincent Berger Rond's 10th music collection release is also available on Spectropol Records, on Bandcamp too
 

One of the most beautiful videos found on this server. Really stands out in its striking emotional force. I have seen this 7 hours movie many times already and connect much with Arvo Pärt's music.

Berger Rond - La soudure du cercle

A stellar work so far where I compose a short synthesis with my hardest and most delicate sounds, as well as with my love for unusual atmosphere, for the first time for me with an African witch ritual (creating an illusion of field recording sometimes), but without forgetting also my most mathematical abstraction through sound and romantic/symphonic edge. The lo-fi recorded guitars are played by a Brazilian guitarist, a microtonal enthusiast who comes out African here and there. The piano is played by a man who repair and tune up instruments.

Repenser la vie

Une sorte de poème intuitif (d'un seul jet) d'ensemble pour ma musique, j'ai changé d'idée pour le titre après-coup et pour être véritablement bon, le poème devrait peut-être changer d'idée souvent : 
Je vois la réalité comme un ennemi
Vie trop absurde pour être significative
qu'une illusion devant les yeux
Rien à en tirer
sauf des déceptions
(«Ce n'est que cela !»)
Les gens sont contents avec rien
