Mini (C26, stenze quo 2010)
BERTIN - mini
An album of 9 miniatures by Bertin van Vliet out of Nijmegen. The minimalistic theme goes through in the titles of the songs, which are simply listings of the instruments used. Bertin is situated somehow within the electronic music entertainers with a twist, which makes me think of the early recordings of Felix Kubin or even Bruce Haack. Allthough, on "mini" the tunes are more reduced and instrumental.
silkscreened C26 in stencilprinted cover.

Bertin van Vliet (Ommen, 1974) has been composing songs and recording lo-fi albums since early 90's. Today he's doing performances with electronic music, in a style ranging from drone-noise to synth-pop.
Besides music, Bertin's been making short-video's with still-photography and found-footage since the change of the century.
Bertin graduated from art-school back in 1998 with pop-art paintings of stylized Edison dolls and unrecognizable portraits of famous actors. He drew comics about far future humans in ufo's, vampire girlfriends eating socks and flying piano's doing stand-up comedy. He also made biographical cartoons about himself and his imaginary friend. Bertin's work is full of humor and dry wit, and it has a lot of pop-culture reverences.
