Romain Bertheau (b.1983) is a french keyboard player (Pianoforte, Harpsichord and Organ). He studied piano then harpsichord in Paris, won several international first prizes for his instrumental interpretations ranging from renaissance music to contemporary music. He left Europe for Asia, led a nomadic life during which he recorded traditional songs. Upon his return to Europe in 2019, he returns to music as a performer. His work focuses mainly on the organ and the ‘no-input’ mixing board.
On his organ pieces the intervals, precisely tuned, are played at subtle volumes, which generates a multitude of differences and combinations of sounds, phasing, beats and auditory illusions.
