De Mòrt Viva is undoubtedly one of the most interesting albums released in 2021. Ernest Bergez is a recognizable figure on the French scene – he creates solo as Sourdure, as part of the duo Kaumwald, but also in the post-punk Orgue Agnès or the trance ensemble Tanz Mein Herz. On the one hand, he relies extensively on new technologies; on the other, he is rooted in organic sounds and builds on musical traditions.
