Pascal Asselin (Millimetrik)
Sound designer
With over a decade spent exploring the twists and edges of electronic music through an impressive catalogue of releases, Millimetrik (Pascal Asselin) unveils his tenth and most surprising work to date, Sun-drenched. Looking back at the trajectory of this veteran of the Québec electronic scene, one sees an artist constantly reinventing himself through concepts inspired by travel, photography and cinema.
The sounds that have shaped his seventeen-year career evoke a vast musical landscape drawing from ambient, trip-hop and now house, disco, soul and dance music. In 2014, he won the GAMIQ award for Best Electronic Album for Lonely Lights. He has performed on the stages of Osheaga, FEQ, FME, MUTEK and the Brussels Electronic Music Festival, among others. The Québec-born artist received the ADISQ Félix Award for Best Electronic Album in 2019.
