Nicolas Bernier was introduced to musical creation through popular music. His curiosity quickly brought him to electroacoustic composition. His love of experimentation inspired him to develop acousmatic composition, live electronics, installation and art video as well as music for dance, theatre and cinema. In the midst of this eclecticism, his artistic concerns remain constant: the balance between the cerebral and the sensual and between organic sound sources and digital processing. In 2006 he created Ekumen, a microorganism dedicated to the dissemination of sound art. In 2008, he took the art direction of the electroacoustic concert producer Réseaux.
