Nicolas Pirti-Duplessis, originaire d’Akulivik et r\u00e9sidant maintenant \u00e0 Montr\u00e9al est un musicien qui aime apprendre de nouvelles choses tous les jours, que ce soit \u00e0 son travail \u00e0 l’Institut culturel Avataq ou ailleurs. Nicolas a commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 jouer de la guitare \u00e0 l’\u00e2ge de 14 ans. Apr\u00e8s son premier emploi d’\u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e0 Akulivik, il a voyag\u00e9 dans le sud pour voir son p\u00e8re avant la rentr\u00e9e scolaire. Arriv\u00e9 \u00e0 Montr\u00e9al, il envisageait de s’acheter un nouveau v\u00e9lo de montagne avec l’argent qu’il avait \u00e9conomis\u00e9, mais son p\u00e8re qui le voyait jouer avec sa guitare l’amena au magasin de musique Steve’s. Il se souvient encore comment il \u00e9tait \u00e9merveill\u00e9 lorsqu\u2019il est entr\u00e9 au magasin pour la premi\u00e8re fois et qu\u2019il a vu toutes sortes de guitares accroch\u00e9es au mur. Apr\u00e8s cette visite, il est all\u00e9 au magasin de v\u00e9los mais tout ce qu’il avait en t\u00eate \u00e9tait les guitares, il \u00e9tait un peu embarrass\u00e9 de dire \u00e0 son p\u00e8re qu\u2019il voulait une guitare \u00e0 la place. Nicolas Pirti-Duplessis, originally from Akulivik and now living in Montreal, is a musician who loves to learn new things everyday either from his work at Avataq Cultural Institute or elsewhere. Nicolas started playing guitar when he was fourteen years old. After his first summer job in Akulivik, he travelled south to see his father before school started. When he got to Montreal, he planned on buying a new mountain bike with the money he saved but his father, who saw him playing with his guitar, brought him to Steve\u2019s Music Store. He still remembers how he was amazed when he first got in the store and saw all kinds of guitars hanging on the wall. After this visit, he went to the bike shop but all he had in mind were the guitars, he was a little embarrassed to tell his dad he wanted a guitar instead. \u140a\u14ea\u14da\u1450\u1585 | Texte de | Text by: Olivia Lya Thomassie<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n

Son p\u00e8re qui lui a appris \u00e0 jouer puis Nicolas a commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 apprendre par lui-m\u00eame et s\u2019est \u00e9galement exerc\u00e9 au chant. Il a pratiqu\u00e9 des chansons de Linkin Park, Metallica, Nirvana et bien d’autres. Il a commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 \u00e9crire ses propres chansons et dit qu’il apprend continuellement, m\u00eame aujourd’hui. La musique a toujours \u00e9t\u00e9 son passe-temps favori. \u00ab Je me souviens avoir jou\u00e9 devant des gens quand j’avais 14 ans \u00e0 Akulivik, j’\u00e9tais vraiment stress\u00e9. J’ai commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 m’y habituer au fur et \u00e0 mesure que je jouais, et aujourd’hui, jouer devant des gens, c\u2019est la meilleure sensation. \u00bb t\u00e9moigne-t-il.
Sa musique se compose principalement de rock alternatif, allant de la guitare acoustique au heavy m\u00e9tal, chant\u00e9 en trois langues : inuktitut, anglais et fran\u00e7ais. Arctistic est le nom qu’il a donn\u00e9 \u00e0 son groupe, \u00e0 l’\u00e9poque o\u00f9 il jouait avec ses amis d’enfance \u00e0 Akulivik. \u00ab C’est un jeu de mots : Akulivik est situ\u00e9 sous le cercle arctique dans la toundra, c’est donc Arctistic \u00bb. Son premier album, Ukiuq, sorti en novembre 2019, a souffert de la pand\u00e9mie et Nicolas a d\u00fb mettre sa promotion sur la glace pendant plusieurs mois. Maintenant Nicolas est tr\u00e8s excit\u00e9 de reprendre le projet.
Pour Nicolas, la musique est un bon moyen de se rassembler : \u00ab Quand il y a des festivals de musique, c’est toujours bon de voir des gens de la communaut\u00e9 et de n’importe o\u00f9 venir jouer ou aller voir le festival. Il y a tellement d’Inuit talentueux. J’encourage tout le monde \u00e0 faire de l’art, de la musique, des sculptures et bien d’autres. J’aimerais voir plus d’artistes \u00e9merger et inspirer les jeunes g\u00e9n\u00e9rations \u00e0 faire de l’art. \u00bb
Nouvelle : Nicolas jouera \u00e0 Kuujjuaraapik, le 1er septembre pour la Journ\u00e9e de l\u2019habitation. Il y aura beaucoup d’autres artistes \u00e0 voir. Le spectacle d\u00e9butera \u00e0 16h30 et sera diffus\u00e9e en direct sur la radio de TNI 94.1 et sur leur site internet www.tni-rtn.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nicolas\u2019 father taught him how to play and then he started to learn by himself and practiced singing as well. He practiced songs from Linkin Park, Metallica, Nirvana and many more. He started writing his own songs and says that he is continuously learning even today. Music has always been his favorite hobby. \u201cI remember playing in front of people when I was fourteen years old in Akulivik, I was really stressed. I started getting used to it the more I played, and today, it\u2019s the best feeling to play in front of people.\u201d he says.
His music mostly consists of Alternative Rock, going from acoustic guitar to heavy metal, sung in three languages: Inuktitut, English, and French. Arctistic is the name he came up with for his band, back when he was playing with his childhood friends in Akulivik. \u201cIt\u2019s a word play: Akulivik is located below the arctic circle in the tundra, so it\u2019s Arctistic\u201d. His debut album, Ukiuq, released in November 2019 suffered from the pandemic and Nicolas had to put its promotion on hold. Now Nicolas is very excited to start moving forward again.
Nicolas shares how music is a good way to gather together: \u201cWhen there are music festivals, it\u2019s always good to see people in the community and from anywhere coming in to play or to go watch the festival. There are so many talented Inuit. I encourage everyone to make art, music, sculptures and many more. I would like to see more artists emerge and inspire the younger generations to make art.\u201d
News: Nicolas will be playing in Kuujjuaraapik, on September 1st for Housing Day. There will be many other artists to watch. The show starts at 4:30pm and will be live on TNI Radio 94.1 and on their website www.tni-rtn.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
