Frédéric Le Junter and Pierre Berthet are two inventors, two craftsmen, two poets of sound.

The humour of Le Junter's lyrics contrasts with a surrealist glittering jumble.
They have definitively saved the French song from disaster. And rock'n'roll too...
Pierre Berthet (born in 1958 in Belgium) studied percussion with G.E. Octors and André Van Belle at Brussels Conservatory, composition with
Frederic Rzewski, improvisation with Garrett List and music theory with
Henri Pousseur at Liège Conservatory. He composes and builds sculptural sound objects and installations (steel, plastic, water, motors, vacuum cleaners…). He presents them since 1988 in exhibitions and solo or duo performances, in music venues, festivals, galleries, outdoor contexts, etc. He worked with
Frédéric Le Junter, played percussion with
Arnold Dreyblatt and has a duet project with Rie Nakajima. Since 2010 he played quite often the piece "Galileo" by Tom Johnson in many european countries.
