Clément Bertine

Im a an independant, multi-instrument musician and teacher, based in France. My activity consist of musical production and recording and thinking over the tools I'm using, documenting their use.

The music is improvised, jazz-oriented yet free. The tools are from the free software ecosystem.

Improvised Music

My music is definitely hand-crafted and with emotional implication. It might be joyful or melancolic, always improvised and mostly with a guitar and a computer. It is influenced by jazz music but tries to be free.

I try to work in a sustainable way. I favor Free and Open Source Software and Low-Tech solutions and I (hope to find the time to) document my practice.

Although improvised, my music is recording in LPs that share a coherence of style or soul. Edits are yet minimal during the process. I hope to spend more time playing in front of an audience in the future.
