Vinkepeezer: Soundvillain, cut and paste composer, sonic painter.
Vinkepeezers' music is built from many tiny sampled fragments that reappear as a swarming flock of birds, falling apart and building up again in ever changing forms.
His music is organic, cinematic, warm and thickly layered, full of contrast. The music is performed live with an unique instrument consisting of game controllers such as the Wii remote, and by acoustic instruments played by musicians that reinterpret his compositions.
Vinkepeezer is Dutch composer, sound artist and performer Ivo Bol, who works internationally with filmmakers, theatremakers and choreographers.

Ronald V. Bijleveld has been making improvisational films since 1999. Every piece has a different working method, characterized by an open, continuously evolving approach. He lives a nomadic life, and always carries a camera. Inspired by landscapes both urban and rural, he has a head full of stories.
His work has been screened worldwide in the last decade. Most recent screenings in 2012: as part of the “StreeTVideOart” - action, movement and exhibition in Paris 2012, and in the prestigous Anthology Film Archives in New York. All work is shot on real locations around the world. Anarchistic by nature, Ronald likes to address social and geopolitical issues in a poetic manner.

YokoAna
Jumping from music, dance and performing arts, YokoAna is an international group of four artists based in the Netherlands that has emerged from the underground creative environment of Amsterdam.
The members compose their pieces, their ideas blending together in a very unconventional way yet following their independent paths. The function of singer or a dancer or a saxophone player can be shifted at any moment, finding ways of producing or altering sound through movement.
The group started with the idea to be a band of dancers, in other words to choreograph performances with a band feeling of creation. There are no leaders in YokoAna but also not just followers.
All the members of YokoAna are improvisers: this element is also very strongly present in the pieces. The group adapts the material to different locations being those theatres, galleries, music venues.

Makiko Ito (Japan) is a freelance dancer and choreographer living in Amsterdam. After studying dance and dance education at Ochanomizu University in Tokyo, Makiko Ito worked in Tokyo as freelance artist and a founder member of C.I.co., which focuses on performance improvisation and contact improvisation. She performs and teaches in Japan and Europe (Netherlands, England, Germany, Sweden). In 2005 she moved to Amsterdam, working with Magpie Music Dance Company.
She is centring on the concerns that can occur while working with improvisation within ensemble situations. The key phrase she uses for her work is “something created behind”. Makiko Ito choreographies include structured improvisations. The structures can be either of choreographed movements, sound or objects.
Makiko is artistic director of Wonderland, a music and dance performance aimed toward children and their parents. The project exists since 2006 and it's on going.

Yedo Gibson (Brazil)was born in San Paulo, in a very noisy environment. His neighbor had a junkjard and soon Yedo started making music with the stuff he found: pieces of cars, emty gasoline cans, cardboard and all kind of brass were soon holdng a saxophone mouth piece.
He moved in London in 2004 and worked with some amazing musicians as Marcio Mattos, Veryan Weston, John Edwards, Steve Noble, Mark Sanders and also was part of the London Improvisers Orchestra together with Lol Coxhill and Evan Parker.
