Byetone

Olaf Bender's (b. 1968, Chemnitz, Germany) experimental work with film material started during school time. The casual finding of a complete 16mm movie equipment gave the initiation. From this time on started an intensive dealing with the medium »film« as well as the raw material »film«.
After the falldown of the Berlin wall in 1989 he was working with a music distributor. The work experiences he collected there led to the idea of publishing own musical projects by himself. Together with Frank Bretschneider he founded the recordlabel Rastermusic in 1996.

The Winter Olympics

The Winter Olympics are a five-man rock band from London England and Sydney Australia.

Inspired by the DIY dignity of Dischord records, the deft funk of Daft Punk and the stadium metal standards of Def Leppard, the band marries literate lyrics to dance rock party beats and positive punk jams drawing comparisons with LCD Soundsystem, and The Hold Steady. They are noted for their entertaining live show which mixes an earnest punk intensity with a boozy barroom bonhomie that recalls Guided by Voices or the Replacements.

Arto Lindsay

Arto Lindsay (born May 28, 1953, Richmond, Virginia) is an American guitarist, singer, record producer and experimental composer. He's probably best known as a founding member of the influential no wave band DNA, though his work after DNA has been quite prolific. He has a distinctive soft voice and an often noisy, self-taught guitar style comprised almost entirely of extended techniques, described by Brian Olewnick "studiedly naïve ... sounding like the bastard child of Derek Bailey"; his guitar work is contrasted frequently with gentler, sensuous Brazilian music themes.
