Bertin van Vliet

On the day Bertin was born (dec 4, 1974) someone ordered a pizza using a talking computer for the first time.

Bertin is known for lo-fi electronic music made mainly with Casio keyboards and creative projects that involve cardboard robots. After graduating from art-school with pop-art paintings in 1998, Bertin soon found his way in electronic improvisation music. He has been active in Extrapool, the venue for performance art in Nijmegen. Today Bertin is mostly working on music videos, doing performances and giving workshops.
