Anyway, I make sure that every detail in my music has meaning and absolutely no easy solution. This is electronic music without much of the big and pseudo non-linear sound we expect now, but with jumpy percussive melodic instruments of an acoustic nature, often kept in their original resonance, but sometimes going through a sort of harmonic dub or electronic tape works of a nature that I don't remember hearing.
I enjoy just as much the process of working with found recordings or improvisations from much appreciated collaborators (I worked this time with Chris Vaisvil, Frédéric Szymanski, Jurica Jelic, Jeff Gburek, Greg Hooper and Jörg Fischer) who had already recorded their own work or improvised on my pieces.
The idea of mixing small fragments from recordings that are not meant to be together is one fascination that I don't lose easily. New life forms emerge out of sounds recorded all differently, taken out of their previously steady and playable structure. Rigorous composition of a different kind is my first priority.

Vincent Bergeron, a.k.a. 'Berger Rond', is one odd fella, and that's precisely what makes his classical/progressive/mash-up/operatic work so nervously entrancing. In some ways, you could say he's a flip-side John Zorn in that Vince doesn't just bypass boundaries, he stomps them down, breaks 'em into bits, then picks the ensharded chaos back up, and throws it into his work. There's most definitely compositional technique here, and plenty of it, even if only because nothing this sophisticated and lunatic could happen by chance, but the mélange is almost alien to any tradition save the marvelously demented output from the old Nonesuch label's electronic glory days paired up with the more adventurous latterday neoclassical oeuvre. Berger Rond's is music to scrape at the fraying edges of consciousness while intriguing the imagination, an Usher-ine landscape only Poe could write but few could ever set so vividly into measures, stanzas, and staves: Art Zoyd, Magma after way too much ketamine, Berger Rond himself, and a handful of others.
