Sacha Bernardson, born in Bayonne, is a musician, video artist and visual artist.

Between fine arts and music conservatory, he began his musical journey with the complicity of the producer MaJiKer (Camille, Melissa Laveau, Zaza Fournier) for a first album made of nuances of wood and string, « Lave tes oiseaux », with cryptic and metaphorical lyrics, french rhymes alongside a variation of sounds from only one instrument, an old folk guitar, heritage from his father.


Emancipated from his label, Sacha explores self-production with the album Backpack in 2011.
In reference to his studies in electroacoustic composition, the album consists of noise music, electronic and more instrumental experiments, as on the piece « Oreiller», made with cat purring ,  a choir is constituted with the help of Myspace, the patchwork of 18 voices, partly collected by e-mails, appears on the song Carelessness.

It is with this Backpack that Sacha emigrated in January 2012, with a small home studio and a few english words.

In the middle of  Dutch winter, he composes Postkaarten, a psychedelic collection of songs. In the « Rien », Sacha composes an arrangement for flute, responding to Under Zero with his complex and etheric choir. On Photosynthesis, he makes a paper drum and incorporates a profusion of home percussion (his sofa among others); on Idiosyncrasy he returns to acoustic colors accompanied by an autoharp.

The year after, Dormancy is born. Darker, it evokes the legacy of mechanical instruments with the use of computers in music. The album is based on a collection of virtual instruments, reminiscent of their ancestors, music boxes and other pipe organs. The somewhat nihilistic texts tell about conception and birth in Beast, alcoholism on Unicorn, the death in the instrumental Blast, but does not lack humor with the kittens keyboard on Internet or a love song dedicated to his bed with Lauds.

That same year, Sacha unveiled Stagnant, a sort of interlude, a punctuation before an expatriation in the United States. Stagnant came out in physical form with a compilation of tracks from Postkaarten and Dormancy in demo or live version, accompanied by the very pop Stagnant and L’hiver tiède a melancolic ballad in French.

It’s in Pittsburgh that Rockall album starts to be recorded at the dawn of 2014. The same year Sacha is working on the movie soundtrack « Do not Pray For Us » for AJ Dirstystein, a visual artist, writer, and long time collaborator. Never edited, this very baroque soundtrack is written around an harpsichord and a knives drum kit.

At the beginning of 2015, installation in London, Rockall still in preparation, Sacha starts a triptych and composes 57 ° 35'48''N - 13 ° 41'19''O coordinates of Rockall, an island planted in the middle of the 'Atlantic. The first song, Bain Rituel, talks about a rupture ("my dear elsewhere, my past love") and starts an aquatic story, from the arroyo to the river to finally throw itself in the ocean with YS in reference to the legendary Breton city. The album comes out at the end of the year after a move to Iceland.

The development of Rockall continues at the same time as the elaboration of the Pagan Variation movie soundtrack still by AJ Dirtystein, a contemporary art feature film about Alejandro Jodorowsky’s Tarot cards. Sacha publishes the soundtrack in a slightly recaptured form, and names the album Lactem, having already been commissioned by many artists such as the visual artist Enora Lalet, the painter Karl Lakolak or the dance company Nikki Noves, this is the first edition of his work as a sound designer.


Rockall finally released in November 2017, fashioned with vocal arrangements, a multitude of virtual or analog synthesizers and a collection of electronic beats made from samples of voices, water noises and metal percussion. Rockall's sound is limestone and glossy, it tells the feeling of becoming stateless, with rich musical references borrowed from synthwave, dream-pop, indus and trip-hop. In Reykjavik, Sacha convene a choir of 5 women to accompany him on stage, and challenges himself to use a collection of MIDI controllers to sculpt the beats and his voice,. For tours in Europe, he collaborates with the musician

Benjamin Gibert, they put together an electronic concert fed with sound designs, on a volcanic theme. The show is like an immersive sound journey painted with excentric synthesizers, powerful percussions and lunar noisy soundscapes, from volcanic whirings to the heart of a campfire, the sound of the snow that falls in a tropical forest.

For a year, the duo performed in France and Spain, on the same sound-design concept but in solo, Sacha tour in the Czech Republic, United Kingdom, Japan and Iceland.

 A Japanese edition of Rockall comes out in March 2018 with the label Fennely, an enriched version of 4 new tracks.

In September 2018, Sacha settled for 3 weeks in Essex (United Kingdom) to work with Alexis Michalek, user of Mi.Mu gloves, MIDI instrument in the form of gloves, motion detector of the degree of bending of fingers, speed and position in a space, connected to a developing software, created by the artist Imogen Heap. The collaboration currently being developed, has already taken place in Reykjavik as part of the Mycelia residency also initiated by Imogen Heap and is expected to spread over the year 2019, and could perhaps be transformed into a trio with Benjamin Gibert .

The third and last part of the Rockall cycle should see the light of day 2019 under the name of Metaverse, a remix album, bringing together 20 artists, accompanied by unpublished,
