Monopole offers pieces recorded in studio and in concert using instruments invented by the artist. Over thirty of these instruments are presented in colour in the booklet accompanying the box set which includes a text by Fabrice Montal called Les Récréatures de sport.


“Through this principle, he affirmed the honourable right to make music without knowing, and the equally honourable right to compose philosophic works without having to write. The disguised object revealed the acrobatic pleasure his creator felt in subverting industrial productions, like making a face at music history, to the mechanical reproduction of sound, to the agreed upon idea of progress built by decades of the western world.” (Fabrice Montal)
