2/5 BZ was founded in Istanbul in 1986 by Serhat Köksal. He produces films, videos, audio-tapes, photocopyzines, stickers, CD-ROM’s, posters and makes live shows. In his performances he uses samplers and electronics as well as traditional (acoustic) instruments like saz, darbouka, drums, vocals and spoken word. Seventies Turkish cinema, music, literature, and experimental electronic music influence his style. 2/5 BZ toured through Europe with “no turis-tic no egocentric electro folk cut” and composed music for international experimental films from Germany, Iran and Switzerland.

Pfadfinderei / Smash TV / Ellen Allien Germany
Three acts from the groundbreaking Bpitchcontrol label from Berlin. Pfadfinderei's visual style is abstract and graphic and contains references to language and architecture - the visual counterpart of SmashTV's and Ellen Allien's (label owner) hypnotic sequences and strange slow beats.
"SmashTV's music is a tight variety of electro - electech. It bears the sign of the new millennium, transformed into 8-bit pixel optics, and hints to their B-Boy roots. While listening you move between digital abstract sounds, vocoder sounds and oldschool references as electrified as the interface." (www.echolocation.fm)
