COMPTINE (2024 Remaster)

Antonin De Bemels’ artistic career spans more than two decades, during which he has played many roles: video artist, VJ, DJ, composer, sound designer, live performer, writer, mask maker... His work is defined by the urge to express himself, whatever the medium, with a particular attention to the audience, with whom he always tries to create an emotional bound. While having a strong background as an experimental film-maker, his goal in everyone of his projects is to go beyond pure formal experimentation and tell a story, whether abstract or not, as long as it speaks to the heart.

At the start of his career, Antonin had the chance to be part of Brussels' underground music scene, which was in full swing in the early 2000s. He was involved with several cutting-edge labels or collectives such as Elf Cut (founded by Acid Kirk), KRAAK, Foton (founded by Hans De Man and Peter Van Hoesen) or Meakusma. At the time he had the opportunity to share the stage with artists such as Martiens Go Home, The Syncopated Elevators Legacy, Rob(u)rang, Funckarma, Andrea Parker, Mike Paradinas or Luke Vibert. He also worked in close connection with the contemporary dance sector, also known for being ahead of the curve in Belgium.

But the most defining moment in Antonin’s musical trajectory came when, for the release party of his solo album "La fin des pseudonymes", he invited drummer Olivier Taskin to join him. This marks the beginning of an ongoing series of inspiring collaborations (with a.o. David Christophe from Nile On waX), as Antonin's studio became a meeting place for adventurous musicians in search of new challenges. What came out of the various impro sessions that took place there were several EPs and what he calls his "variable-geometry band", Les Antonymes.

Antonin De Bemels’ discography showcases remarkable versatility, ranging from experimental ambient to tribal techno to minimalist piano, often within the same album. And when improvising with his fellow musicians, it goes in a more "post" way: post rock, post dub, post jazz, post blues…

About music production per se, it all started - at the end of the 90s - with FM synthesis and other forms of digital processing. Antonin’s very first compositions were made using rudimentary video editing software, laboriously, piece by piece, without a tempo or looping system like in modern DAWs, which he was only to discover later. Now he uses a combination of field recordings, acoustic instruments like piano or harmonica, and electronic devices such as the Roland TR-8s groovebox or Asturia’s Microfreak.

Antonin's projects for 2026 include a four track ambient EP, a remix album from his 2025 LP "Au temps pour moi", the debut album by Les Antonymes, and a new solo act.

Please note that you'll find his music on most streaming services, but to support him there's only Bandcamp or paypal.me/ant0db
