On the album 'Politics' he has been supported by other great talent from sources as diverse as the Bulgarian Symphony Orchestra, filmmaker/producer Quentin Dupieux (aka Mr Oizo), legendary producer/mixer Philippe Zdar, whose La Funk Mob records exported French cool before Daft Punk, together with the original funky drummer, Tony Allen, a legend who could be said to have had greater influence on the invention of Afrobeat than Fela Kuti himself, whose bands he lead for years from his 60's hi-life act Koola Labitos, through the legendary Afrika '70 and beyond.

Quentin Dupieux, who co-produced 'La Tuerie' from the album 'Politics', directed the video for 'Oh Malheur Chez O'Malley', a song featured on Sébastien's 2001 debut album 'L'Incroyable Verité', where Tellier attempted to skate in a forest haunted by an omnipresent jogger and then subsequently offered him a leading role in his first movie 'Nonfilm', as a photogenic, charismatic leader in a world where you can film without a camera. "Abstract, keep it abstract!" a voice rang in Tellier's head when the time came to score the film, with Tony Allen striking the perfect chord for 'Bye-Bye's rhythms. It is no surprise that Sébastien has more recently also been working on the music for Universal film, 'Narco', starring Belgian actor, Benoît Poelvoorde, perhaps infamous for his starring role in cult classic, 'Man Bites Dog', a blacker than noir study of serial killing shot with comedic edge in grainy docu style.

Tellier's multi-media edge is further visible if you watch the superbly produced animation for 'Broadway', in which he again stars, shot in New York City.

Sébastien toured his debut album, 'L'Incroyable Verité' in 2001 in support of AIR, across three continents over 80 gigs, leaving people awestruck by the unconventional emotional power of his music to the extent that an audience member in October 2001 said "this is the first time I've seen people recall the supporting act!" Now with "Politics", prepare to see the Tellier live experience, either pared down, accompanied by a pianist or, more numerous, dexterously assisted by Tony Allen and Sebastien's partner, Pamelia Kurstin, possibly the world's finest Theremin player !
