Concentrating much of his audio research on numerical maximalism, Érick d'Orion performs a work that closely resembles noize, concrete music, free jazz and electroacoustics. He is part of the duo Moulins_de_machines, the trio Bold (with Alexis Bellavance and Nicolas Bernier ) and the trio Napalm Jazz as well as a multitude of ad hoc trainings. He has performed in concert with renowned artists such as Evan Parker, Martin Tétreault, Otomo Yoshihide, Robin Fox, Ilpo Väisänen, Diane Labrosse, Alexandre St-Onge, Bernard Falaise, Sam Shalabi and Günter Müller., Europe, Australia, Cuba, Mexico and the United States of America. He has benefited from several creative residencies everywhere.

In parallel or jointly, he develops installations projects where audio and new technologies are assembled to create works in continuous movements becoming sources as well as audio broadcasters. His reflections focus on the reinterpretation, appropriation and re-reading of certain concepts of art history, in particular concrete music, dadaism and futurism, all without being backward. The redefinition of acoustic space and the relationship between the viewer's imagination and images, objects, environments and familiar or falsely mythical icons form an integral part of his installation work.

He is or has been a member of several boards of directors in the field of art : The White House, the collective media arts, Perte de Signal, Rhizomes productions, RCAAQ, CHYZ radio..."
