Bern works 5 or 6 days a week in a foundry. Exposed to the highest temperatures,
he is juggling some melted and poured metals into molds. Appart from this world,
Bern puts his child, Loann, and his family, at the first place in his life.
His daily life could make the man playing the blues. Playing with his friends.

to meet people, a chance to travel around.With the tools of today, he shows an
obsession for the perfect loop. He feeds the minimal genre with his personnal dj approach. Small details tell the story. Tracing the line. Bern catches your
attention without you notice it.
Bern released music on various labels like Traum, Trapez, Labo Music, Toys for Boys, Sentrall and Underline. As a talented remixer, he reworked tracks from Jonas Bering, Anders Ilar, Steve Barnes aka Process and the mexican Fax. Overall, his duet Molair formed with Thierry M'Baye recalls Bern to his priority of having fun making music with a beloved friend.
Final words to end this biography would be said about Bern's interest for netlabels and his respect for people at Synergy Network, Indigo magenta, Redevice, Minlove, Thinner and so. To share music is the thing.

I spend a lot of my free time reading up on as many facets of electronic music as i can process:Researching audio software/synthesis: recombinant, formants, granular, FM, physical

Ilike to give back and pass on knowledge whenever possible...and after all that, I try to summon the spirit of JACK at all times, to be spoken and understood by all.....
Learning to play the guitar seemed to be a good way to fight the atrocities of puberty and listening to the recordings of zany Zappa, arsonist Hendrix, and the LSD-inspired cadence of Pink Floyd and George Clinton helped a bit, too. His first major electroshock came when he acquired a MS20 synthesizer by Korg and began to write short Electrotechnofolk (a genre of his own) with a friend under the intimidating name of Caribousex. Finally, the dawn of 2004 brought a home studio and a commitment to weird, tormented, bleepy twisted

featuring deep, filtered chords, lo-fi percussion and roughly chopped vocal pieces. Old-fashioned in a good
way - just the way we like it! WE MUST FACE OUR FEARS is a smoother, minimal track with a delicate, beautifully
measured mesh of percussive knocks, slides & bleeps driven by a pulsing sine wave bass. As the track builds,
a classic Detroit-flavoured chord wash brings it all together. Bliss… BIOGRAPHY Hauke Freer grew up in a small
