Automatisme is the electronic music project of Quebec-based producer William Jourdain. Since 2011, he has self-released a brilliant series of albums and tracks under this moniker, exploring various intersections of drone, glitch, dub techno, ambient, electro-acoustic and noise. With a background in art history from UQAM (Universté du Québec à Montréal), Jourdain combines his passion for digital visual art with abstract landscape and op art aesthetics.

Starting with site-specific field recordings, Automatisme samples, processes, signal bends and transforms this source material into soundscapes charting a broad spectrum spanning minimalist pulse to methodically additive beat. His compositions also feature stacked-tone maximalism, spatial drone and arrhythmic ambient/noise elements. Influenced by pioneers such as Pan Sonic/Mika Vainio, Stefan Betke (Pole), and Carsten Nicolai (Alva Noto), Jourdain's work pays homage to the early works of these electronic music progenitors.

Jourdain has been busy since 2011 with over 30 releases on labels like Constellation Records (home for Godspeed you! Black Emperor), Force Inc./Mille Plateaux, Neologist Productions, Liberation Through Hearing, Outlines and Dream Disk Lab. He has performed at renowned festivals including Mutek (CA), ELEKTRA (CA), Suoni Per Il Popolo (CA), Pop Montreal

Automatisme's album Transit. Available here on 180 Gram LP.

Reclusive glitch artist and electronic music producer William Jourdain has been keeping busy since the release of his acclaimed 2016 debut Momentform Accumulations for Constellation under the moniker Automatisme. From his home studio in the Quebec town of Saint-Hyacinthe, alongside his day job at Fréquences (one of the country's leading indie record stores), Jourdain has continued churning out quality tracks, adding to his excellent and formidable Bandcamp discography. The Post-Landscape collaboration with Erinome came out on Neologist in spring 2018 (alongside their re-release of the pre-Momentform album Automatisme 2) and the self-released E.T.I. Space, Transit Et Individu (Reshape &amp; Restoration) from December 2017 demonstrated various evolutions in the post-Momentform trajectory. Rare Automatisme performances have included Inductive Prism VI (documented in a live recording) and MUTEK 2017 (documented in a live video premiered by MUTEK and Resident Advisor).
