Intuitive Music

Vincent Bergeron is Intuitive Music’s latest great discovery at MySpace. A guy from Victoriaville, Quebec, Canada, who mixes experimental electronica and nu-jazz with big doses of American vintage and oldie atmospheres and a dadaist sense of humor. His music has been defined as “An LSD-orchestra playing symphonic cover-versions of Jaques Brel songs”. I recommend you to check out some his music on his personal MySpace page and Vincent Bergeron’s own website.

Vincent has filled Intuitive Music’s questionnaire to give us some hints about his music and other recommended stuff.

- My last discovery album:

Noah Creshevsky “Hyperrealism” (2003). We exchanged our albums and it seems we both fall in love with our music. He works a bit the same way than I do, but with a ‘classical music’ background.

- The song I always wanted to cover:
I was thinking I could sing the Lady in the Radiator song in my live shows, just at the end. My voice have a similar nasal edge.

- The song that always makes me cry:
I don’t really have one in particular. Really can’t find it.

- The artist I’d like to work with:
Björk

- The concert I always wanted to attend:
I don’t really care for concerts : too much people in one place, approximative sound, long time waiting. I’ve seen Björk with a full orchestra at Toronto. I’m happy with that for the rest of my life, even if I don’t see anything else, really big. I love FIMAV (Victoriaville) small shows too. Small places with few people in them.
Oh yeah, I wanted to see Charles Ives symphony # 4 !

- The most underrated band/artist:
Three : Sparks, Disco Inferno and Annette Peacock.

- The weirdest music I’ve ever heard:
Something really bad probably. When bands and composers are trying to outweird each others, it doesn’t sound really good. Weirdness must come from the desire to express what you are. That’s what I’m trying to do at least.

In this, perhaps Captain Beefheart remains hard to beat, the way it felt the first time I heard him at least. A great example of good weirdness.

- The underground music in 2010:

Not noise, not wall of sound. I find noise to be the most conventional form of underground music. Always the same sounds used the same since decades. Xenakis imitation. More disturbing forms of songs. I find most underground music of today to be too gentle and polite.

- My recommended Myspace band/artist:

Dan Stearns

- My recommended YouTube music video:

Captain Beefheart “Icecream For Crow”
