besides information about live and dj activities, there isnÆt much to be found on
subskan mastermind jean-marc polet. there were rumors about him working in a factory
and using pure industrial samples for his artistic work - whether these rumors are
true or not, they seem completely legitimate while listening to subskan's sound
treatments. after two well received releases over the course of more than ten years,
he has redefined himself artistically and personally - years in which he literally
recorded hundreds of tracks coming to terms with most different aspects of his
identity. 'ambidextrous asylums' is the final result of a precise selection around a
deliberate setup and sonic coherence as well as a re-introduction of the artist
subskan and the person jean-marc.
subskan's intention is expressing himself musically without any stylistic boundaries
and classifications - placing great importance on the music speaking for itself and
it not only describing the artist's moods and feelings, but also shepherding the
individual listener's own journey into his inner core. this music stays in your mind
long after it has faded away. this album's most diversified song structure
permanently changes between feelings and tempers without any rest - each track
transports into another mental status from psychiatric dark sadness and gentle
positive joy or hope to desperate bedevilment. the music on 'ambidextrous asylums'
touches a lot of different styles between beat-oriented intelligent dance music,
melancholy-saturated electronica and abstract breakcore structures. a diligent use of
instrumentation and samples plus the precise, clear production make this opus an
outstanding release which re-establishes subskan back in full shape after years of
self-discovery.
'waking up after a time where everything collapsed while you were sleeping, left for
dead. and you realise everything that happened while you were in hell, while you were
dead, or in another reality. but you missed everything in this reality... yours was
completely different.'
