ANDY MOOR + DJ SNIFF
Andy Moor began his musical life in Edinburgh, Scotland playing guitar with the band Dog Faced Hermans. In 1990 he moved to the Netherlands after an invitation to join Dutch band The Ex and continues to be a full time member of this band.
DJ Sniff (Takuro Mizuta Lippit) plays the playback through scratching, cutting and stuttering various records which reflect his influences - from free improvisation to hip-hop. Utilizing custom built samplers, he can capture and playback sounds at lighting speed or sculpt heavy drones.
VANOLIBOL
Live music with films from Jean Painleve
Vinkepeezer aka Ivo Bol (monotak): live sampling, electronics
Sound archeologist Ivo Bol builds his music from samples found on forgotten records, creating a cinematic soundworld of his own
Raphael Vanoli (Knalpot): guitar, electronics
Vanoli's inventive guitar sound is soaked in tasteful electronica
The music of Vanolibol is an organic electrifying trip, traveling from subtle clear peeks through deep valleys of black bass.

ACTIVITY CENTER
MICHAEL RENKEL - strings & percussion
BURKHARD BEINS - percussion & strings
Over the past twenty years the Berlin musicians Michael Renkel and Burkhard Beins have developed a highly destinctive musical vocabulary with their duo Activity Center. Within this duo, as soloists, but also - conjointly or independently - as members of diverse ensembles they have appeared on international tours and festivals and released numerous records.
Their long sold out double-CD Activity Center "Möwen & Moos" (1999) has been regarded as a milestone of it's genre, while they have managed to build bridges between generations and allegedly also styles with their CD Activity Center & Phil Minton in 2005.
After a long period of almost exclusive concentration on the sonic potential of their acoustic instruments (spanish guitar and percussion), the Activity Center has now been amplified, extended by electronic devices and relocated on tables.
