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 is the electronic music project of Saint-Hyacinthe, Quebec-based producer William Jourdain, who has been self-releasing a brilliant series of albums and tracks under this moniker since 2013, exploring various intersections of drone, dub techno, electronica, ambient, electro-acoustic, and noise.Always taking site-specific field recordings as its starting point, and with nominal reliance on synthesizers, Automatisme samples, signal bends, and transforms his source material into deliberate and elemental soundscapes of white and pink noise, spatial drone and methodically additive beats. Momentform Accumulations compiles much of Jourdain's most recent and most rhythmically-driven work. We're very excited to be issuing this as Automatisme's first official full-length physical album release - and while Jourdain continues to pursue his studies in Art History, his practice as a painter and installation artist, and his work at Saint-Hyacinthe's excellent Fr鱵ences record store, we also anticipate diverse and fascinating future recordings from Automatisme that will stake out a multi-faceted identity for this viscerally engaged young producer. (We also urge interested ears to check out Automatisme on Bandcamp for previous recordings that similarly reveal the project's multiplicity.)
