Hi everyone! I’m Leny Bernay, I am a multimedia artist and since 2012 I have been developing an electronic music solo project called Jardin (that’s French for garden). In this project I sing, I shout, cry, I make analog dance music, poetic and political music.

After releasing a string of works including a self-produced CD, a few cassette tapes, a USB flash-disk and 2 LPs on post punk label Le Turc Mécanique, I’m prepping a third album with this same label: EPEE (That’s French for sword this time).

EPEE finds its roots in my RnB, Rap, Industrial techno and Sci-Fi influences. In this record I want to lay a Queer, humanistic and social gaze on our tech infused reality and on our over urbanised and policed world. The 9 tracks on this record will also be the basis for a collaboration with photograph and artist Patrick Weldé who will shoot the integrity of the record.

Weldé’s work is often set in rural surroundings. Ghostly heroes on set seem to be fleeing a fallen city, their masks and the rags and plastics clothing they wear hide their genres. They appear in confrontation to an animal presence or children’s looks.

Thanks to hand in hand work with the Kultural Workers studio, a print publication will accompany this record. I want to build a scenic incarnation to this visual matter with other artists and technicians where live video projection and set design will transform a live set into a performative installation. I hope to present this body of work as an exhibition at the end of a residency.
