Martin Messier has a diploma in jazz percussion and a BA in electroacoustic composition from the University of Montreal and the De Montfort University in England. His curiosity for graphic arts lead him to explore the relations between sound and image and discover video-music and digital motion graphics. This same interest inspired him to compose music for dance and theatre which is his main focus in recent years. Recently, Martin has founded a solo project called 'et si l’aurore disait oui' through which he develops live electroacoustic performances borrowing stylistic elements from Intelligent Dance Music, acousmatic music and folk. Based on strong aptitudes for rhythm, Martin’s aesthetics can be defined as a complex, leftfield and happily strange sound amalgamate constantly playing with construction and deconstruction.
