about
"[...] Spasmacousmatic is probably the best adjective to use for this jerky but attention-grabbing music. Involuntary movements are it's inspiration and it's Muses, and you will feel yourself sucked into the vortex, possibly reacting physically after a while. I have no idea how or why this works, it just does. It's like trying to make love standing up in a hammock; difficult, but ultimately very rewarding.", WTFMusic.org
wtfmusicorg.blogspot.com/2011/01/berger-rond-etrange-en-compagnie-close.html
"[...] The uninitiated will have to fight to access the mad genius of this work but the battle will be worth it. Like Harry Partch, Berger Rond is an unrepentant individualist, one of those who brings the quality of rebellion to its outer limit. The CD's broken up into six songs, but they're really a sextet of movements in a grand opus that meanders everywhere (catch the Residents kinships in Me Detester quand Je L'aime), never arriving. The climax isn't the point, the journey is.", FAME

Riant va sans l’autre
(poème original)
escadrille mers des unes
riant va sans l’autre
dessous en ma main j’avais en passé
m’apprenait lire elle à écrire et..
paire manches d’autre s’abstenir d’une que
mélancolie désir soupir et dessus tout par
malaimée notoire à cirer je n’en avais plus rien de cette
m’avait elle à nourrir ce sentiment appris
totalement l’oublie que pour je
et puisse vivre qu’elle aventure de nouvelles
mon étrange en compagnie
sécurité la dans couple du pour uni toujours
y n’allait la mer grand chose
faisait elle mais le haut passer le coeur
Vite-fait, rapidement c’était assez
aussi s’y plaisait mais ma main
Protéger un lièvre
Le berner et y attacher une main
s’éprendre de la main et la reconduire
en visite
sans années
désemparé
comment il savait encore l’aimer mais
la main
lièvre le et !
dans une soupe à hangar disparu
Paroles déserts d’autres et d’autres...
échappant en mains à nos osseuses
de devoir notre, des preuves
quand on appartenait à certaines libertés
y croire cherchais à
permissions d’autres acquises
parvenir sans libérer à se
à y croire une chose calmée s’était et l’autre parvenait
Envie d’avoir d’aimer
Une désobéissante aut’
Chances à craindre nos
Pouvait s’il en lui enlever
plus sans caresses nos
Malchance et continent
Une bonne assez affaire
à séquence deux mieux vaut quatre qu’à
Redondance sonore
force amoindrie du bonheur par la
force la atteignable
s’altérer bouger sans
décousues en mitaines et croquer
magique la pensée d’un eskimo
se désormais vacante elle-même qualifiait mon odeur
passaient à côté mes occupations
j’adorais que ce c’était chez-elle le plus
Aborder l’improbable
Inconsidéré un ajustement
Elle en l’air est ma parole
et c’est juste..ment
que j’aime ce d’elle
Ambiguïté son morale
retiré attachement un
inconditionnel de l’amour
Affaire une à deux
Désoeuvré parmi eux
L’infini corps à mon
Riant va sans l’autre
(translation in the song)
flotilla sea to one
laughing goes without to one
flotilla seat one / past behind in my hand I had in
learning to read her to write and..
a pair of sleeves from another to abstain one / flotilla sea to one
melancoly desire signing and on top everything goes / flotilla sea to one
he is strange in company / well known
in love, security fall forever united
I didn’t care anymore !
she had fed me this feeling learned
only for I forget..
I forget and can live her adventure of the news
In company he is strange
Disappeared shelter’s soup !
Protecting the crux
Looking like a fool / attached an hand
falling for the hand, bring home
in visit without years in distress
how he still knew
look like a fool / attached an hand
falling for the hand, bring it home in visit
how he still know how to love her ! (x4)
chances to be afraid
if something was removed /
liberties to believe trying..mmm...to others took for granted /
he could not without caressing our unfortune and continent
Longing to have love / chances to be afraid
Longing to have love..
to be believed !
Unfortunate continent..a good
Disobediant other
Chances to be afraid
if removed something / he could
not without caressing our
unfortunate hand
Chances to be afraid !
if something was removed
he could not without caressing our unfortune and continent
diminished strength / longing to have love /
I adored it more, but this was in our home...(x2)
Home ! /
of happiness by...by..STRENGTH to be reached...
To make someone !
mmmh..passing by my..occupations... / repetition (x2) naaaananana
I adored it that this was in her home the more
in a diminished
strength of happiness / to make land on the unthinkable an..
unconsidered adjustment
in the air she was my lyrics
and this exact..lie
that I love
this from her sounds like morale ambiguity
to remove an attach(one)ment
Concern by one two
at a loose end among them
This infinite body of ours to my /
this was in our home..home ! Home !!
I adored it (x2)
This infinite body of ours to my / I adored it more (x2)
More ! (x4) I adord it more !!
This infinite body of ours to my /
this was in our home !

Intention dévorante
Devouring intention
C’était la nuit devant
Encore une attente préliminaire
Je croyais me déprendre systématiquement
Quelque part, il y a des oublis vitaux
Nous allons tirer des possibles
Quelque part, des possibles oublis vitaux
Oublis, nous allons en tirer
Diva ! Devouring intension
Devouring in tension ! / vitaux
Be there, we need you
a preliminary wait / youuuu...
Diva ! Devour..
From them, devouring !
Prendre la porte !
I will always get out / sortie de secours
Somewhere, there are key omissions
From them, we will bring possibilities
They will be molded correctly
Soit là comme il faut !
We need you / urgency exit
Be there like expected
We need you !
Devouring in tension
Nous avons besoin
We need you / take the door
Nous avons Urgency exit
De toi, nous avons besoin
Urgency exit be there like expected, we need you - Track Name: Me détester quand je l'aime
-
Me détester quand je l’aime
Pourquoi les gens me détestent ?
Je l’aime !
Wanting to be wrong !
Why people hate me so much ?
Maybe ‘cause there’s too many to love me !
Some come from lonely places,
(others from countries) where it is hot
I love places where it’s hot
even if I don’t spend a lot of time outside
‘cause there are too many sick people
packed one on another
where it’s hot
I love to walk
but I find this
really weak
of character
to become
a war machine
Why people hate me ? / Without any specific reason, I love..
to walk really fast / perhaps because I can’t electrocute a stranger
I can’t electrocute a stranger !
Why people hate ?
Why waste our brains
to become
better
chess players ?
[...]
To best forget..
robots / the unbearable !
Why people hate me so much ?
Our uncles wanted us to be hostiles
to best remember !
Too many to love me !
Perhaps because I can’t electrocute a stranger
Why waste our brains ?
to become a better chess player ?
Our uncles wanted us to be hostiles
to best remember (a) chess player
Aaaaaaaaaaahhh !!! / Why people hate you ? / Become a war machine ! - Track Name: Du noir marre j'en ai
-
Du noir marre j’en ai
Marée noire
Tache d’argile
Désormais..
approbation pas d’autre puits
de la nature peur bleue
d’être un poltron à devenir
du noir dessein
d’un enfant en amusement park
de la vie sans Mais l’héroïsme / de la nature peur bleue
of nature’s blue funk
a Pole “tiny” troon
du noir dessin
while becoming a Pole “tiny” troon
du seul côté du miroir qu’il nous reste
En vase clos
par feu éteint si tôt
En vase clos / chatterbox, a trivial degeneration
par feu éteint si tôt
du thé avant la tasse protocolaire
errant nos poumons dans le liquide (x2)
bavarde déchéance et futile (x2)
L’humanité / même sans / des ouvres-boîtes automatiques
Sommes nous ne ?
des eaux piétinées barbares par le crisse
on écrase la nourriture (x2)
Trampled upon water, barbaric by the Christ
We crushed the food !
Amazement to the glory of being (un)considerate
A used and an invented bird
en pollution libertine
for the wide eyed supermarket bird with a big mouth
Amazement to the glory of being (un)considerate
From my hope, below I lived
From my..“Ooops !” Below I lived !
Which strengths None knows ruled them
In swampland, when algae slowed us
Which strengths None knows / In swampland, when...”Ah ?”
ruled them
even without worthless putrefaction of a wonder kind
A due fraction beam of a grain-fed veal
Missing we are
on a gathered day
while..
strengths None knows ruled them
Missing we are (x2)
in swampland, when algae slowed us..
while sprawling in the sleeve of a wardrobe
not ugly !
Before my death he does nada ! - Track Name: Le monde se défait toujours tout seul

Spasmacousmatic
(poème original)
à montures égales des parapluies
sans apanage un paravent troué
encombrants des propos
des yeux pour les aider j’ai
pour les rédiger et les alléger
ces vosciférations que j’aimais tant
à travers les autres nos idéaux
Il me fallait les découvrir
au juste ce que je voulais
contre la crainte de la protection
à ceux qui désobéissent et appartiennent
en sachant cacher la mire
à soudures une souplesse
d’ordures saturées des eaux pâles
à double tour des appareils
avant qu’elles pâlissent à décorer des sections
Doute tour à double
sans essayer sans s’exercer
sans dériver c’est manipuler
Mes manivelles se ferment
bien
Cet inconnu du bois
assez pas
pas assez
de chasser lui arrivait
impardonnable la terreur
sans quitter les maisonnettes
toutes de bois construites
et d’aboiements
conséquents avec la mort
du sanguinaire désir
de l’éternelle inscription
à la misère imaginaire
