Christian Bernard

Christian Bernard is a multi-instrumentalist and composer originally from Quebec City, living in Montral since 2004. An adept of minimalism and spontaneous creativity, he uses a method that lets him tap into the unconscious, steering clear of always relying on inspiration which is, by its nature, pretty elusive. Chris uses the piano to form pieces that are more romantic than neoclassical, but with a resolutely modern approach. His music unfolds like elegent wordless poetry, moving through a series of black-and-white scenes that celebrate both nostalgia and melancholy. He first studied saxophone and percussion as a teenager, and his professional journey started as the lead singer with Quebec City band Nucleair Jet. Since then, Chris has been involved on a range of musical projects and collaborations in the studio, for film and for theatre, both in Quebec and abroad. He has also performed at various venues internationally.
