'With Dragibus, Guylain Damonneville, Jaber, Fred Thabaut, André Robillard, Paul Bourre, Jean Clerembaux, Mordysabbath, Michel Dalmaso, Donna Collins. Does 'raw' music exist? Is there any correlation with Raw Art? Don't be afraid, this cd does not give any clue. One could find everything he wants in these recordings: musicians which could belong to the 'Neuve Invention', improvisers of noisy belches on a microphone, outstanding technicians accumulating several keyboards like other obsessionaly accumulate things (I think of the puppets of Michel Nedjar), soft and-or violent musicians. But from what I have listened to, there were sincere people, an essential quality for the raw approach. For some of them, their music was never 'exported' before. This cd has the defaults and the advantages of a compilation. Default of heterogeneity and advantage of heterogeneity. Everybody can pick what he needs to imagine... Fullishly destroyed.'

'In 1989, InPolySons released its first record; the compilation Ubu et la MerdRe, as a tribute to Alfred Jarry. 1989 was also the year of thebreak of the Berlin wall: a new hope was born mostly for the young utopists. Twenty years later, the word has changed and we will not review in details all the bad things that happened since the end of the cold war. Societies moved from unequal diversity to the disaster of globalization. Let's celebrate together this birthday, defending our ideas of imaginary folk, funny but sincere poetry. The king UBU still lives somewhere not far for here, but thanks to Faustroll pataphysical spirit, we can be save from the deathly sadness of the world. Let's be ephemeral and non credible, fragile and contradictory because the future belongs to those kinds of people. Utopia will win, utopia is our Nirvana, our way of thinking.' With Jean-François Pauvros, David Fenech & Jad Fair, Klimperei, Dominique Grimaud & Véronique Vilhet, Itoken, Mme Patate, Frédéric Le Junter & Pierre Bastien, Franck Collot, Rocket Matsu, Pascal Ayerbe, Palo Alto, Jérôme Noetinger, La Terre Tremble!!!, Alain de Filippis, La Société des Timides à la Parade des Oiseaux, Ganpol und Mit. + a 3 pages pdf booklet is included on this CD.

'Polochon battle'
CD
Ref : IPS 1007

'I'm a fan of this movie by Jean Vigo called Zero de conduite, and I often think of the final scene, this huge pillow fight which is anarchic and soft, violent and smooth at the same time. it's the same feeling I'm trying to express in my own music. polochon battle (pillow fight in frenglish) has developed around this idea of happy conflict between the different tracks of the album, as well as a kind of joust between the musicians involved, a fight between acoustic sounds and their electronic mirror' David Fenech For his second album, David Fenech has invited some friends to compose with and against him, opening his musical pieces to the baroque instrumentations of the japanese musician Shugo Tokumaru, to the polyrhythmic electro glitches of the german Felix Kubin, to the perverse ambiguity of falter bramnk's sampler, to the toy orchestra of Klimperei, to the piano melodies of toog. Playing many unexpected instruments, David Fenech shows no limit in his inspiration: ukulele, prepared guitar, toy piano, kitchen drums, bells, computer and accordion come together joyfully. and we can also hear his signature: his strange vocals, sounding like speaking in tongues and like no other (alaeeeygh, friday market reggae). Iinpolysons is proud to release this hybrid album, a little bit outside the borders and with a very personal imaginary world. somewhere between pop and electronic music, between punk rock and new music. Come on, feel free to bring your pillow and enjoy the fight !'

'Rag-Time: jazz precursor, plenti-syncopes. Bastien et Grimo converted themselves into two analogical DJs, slicing old 78 rpm Lps and assembling them into Mecano wheels: with the aim to construct a true concept-album to criticize our present time which is getting irreversibly slashed. The different pieces of this cd are connected together by old and new diseases such as pest and cholera, the misery of our world. For that, Grimo took out his old Teppaz, cleaned the needle, wiped off the dust of his old 78 rpm Lps with their brownish sleeves and prepared-composed a strange program to his colleague Bastien. The so-call colleague sweap his little trumpet, oiled the movements of his mecanic robots and arranged the last year's melodies, giddy and charming tunes. This produced a transe music, trans-duced, trans-versed and trans-formed that resembles nothing but the imaginary world we hear. Volume 2: the first (already on InPolySons) was a solo. Grimo-Bastien today act as a duo. Two mechanical DJs who officiate without mix artifice, recording in mono.'

'Imposture inpolysonne'
DVD
Ref : IPS-D-0409

'Exploring new horizons seems the main topic in Dom Labreuil' s art form. After studying by turns photography, drawing, painting and sculpture, it's no suprise to find him scraping with a sickle with his video art work J'ai descendu shown at a french concrete pictures festival in 2007. His pictures are made with almost nothing but ephemeral stuff, found footage, performing art, improvisation and curiously lifetime moments emerge from the collision between images and music. That's the way he worked on compositions by Dominique Grimo, David Fenech, Val Poher, Pascal Comelade, Palo Alto, Colleen, Jean-Marc Zelwer, Beirut, Faris Nouarallah... In 2008 he took part again in the golden raw selection of the concrete pictures festival with Madame Insomnie, chamboulée conserves, a video created from a dialogue between his pictures and the music from Pierre Bastien and Dominique Grimo's album Rag-Time Vol.2 released by the label Inpolysons. Following this fruitful collaboration, Inpolysons' manager Denis Tagu proposed him to apply this process to the entire catalogue of the label. And there it is ! In the DVD Imposture InPolySonne Dom Labreuil composes his images on the off screen musics created by Klimperei, Dominique Grimaud, Pierre Bastien, David Fenech, Toupidek Limonade, L'ensemble Rayé and Jean-François Pauvros.'
Frédéric LE JUNTER 
'Chansons impopulaires'
CD extra
Ref : IPS 1205
13,00 € ^
“Frédéric Le Junter builds mechanical instruments that strip down banal music.

His workshop is far from contemporary cool electronic processes. That's the reason why Le Junter is a true " Hickno Pop " follower (and took part of the compilation released by In-Poly-Sons). To move forward he needs space to stock raw material, to cut into the flesh, extract intestines, solder membranes, automate cardboards and nail down salvage wood. Therefore one would think that's just a brutish work which could hardly transform a badly dented saucepan into a slide valve trombone. In the contrary it's always the brain that works in Le Junter ! And he's got lots of clouds and fancy in his head, humor and puns, rhymes and songs, roots and sincerity. So one could think that he's just a gullible fool obsessed by a post-1968 utopia, who like to sing the beauty and the kindness hitting his undeted saucepans. But it's rather subtility that drives Le Junter. Someone like him doesn't agree with the world as it is. You should listen like him to the surroundings to extract ridiculousness, then shout out that even if you would become unpopular towards the good society. This is the meaning of the simple but beautiful lyrics of these unpopular songs. A kind of anti-populist manifesto that criticizes today’s absurdities and claims the right not to follow the letter of the law.

Frédéric Le Junter's work is close to Pierre Bastien's or to his former partner Pierre Berthet's and to every mechanical instruments or mechanical music promoters. He’s been on the road since the mid-eighties with his machines for exhibitions and sound art performances. Besides he improvises on his machines in a regular group called Silent Block with Xavier Charles, Jérôme Jeanmart and Stéphane Levigneront.

A new release by Frédéric Le Junter should be noticed as this lively musician produces few records.

Finally Le Junter is a complete artist as he designed his own cover and sleeves for this record and also created the two video that you can read on your computer on this enhanced CD.”
