Julian Bertino is an artist known for his fearless commitment to creative exploration and a dedication to pushing artistic boundaries. Holding a MMus in 10-String Guitar Performance, a MA in Composition, and a BMus from the University of Ottawa, where he is a professor of Music Technology.
Performing on a warm, resonant 10-string guitar by Mexican Luthier José Perfecto Rubio Vasquez, a performer's stand by König and Meyer, and utilizing the creative power of Ableton Push 3, Julian embraces the unexpected and boldly shapes his on-stage presence.
Julian's compositions orbit themes of space, technology, and psychoacoustics. Influenced by mentors Kelly-Marie Murphy, John Gordon Armstrong, and Frederic Lacroix, he excels at articulating intricate philosophical ideas through sound. His compositional influences span a wide range of genres, including Electronic Music, Jazz, Punk, Metal, Early and Contemporary music as well as Cinematic soundtracks.
He is the driving force behind Julian Bertino Sound, recording musicians in the National Capital Region. His passion for music technology extend beyond the stage.
Julian's guitar technique and interpretative skills can be attributed to the influence of teachers Patrick Roux, Philip Candelaria, Matthew Gould, and Denis Donegani. Studies with Louis Trépanier and Laurence Ewashko honed his expertise in chamber ensembles and collaborative art song.
