Serhat Köksal aka 2/5 BZ, a regular contributor to reboot.fm, performs with samplers, saz, tapes, electronics, darbouka and spoken word.
His style varies between traditional music via experimental electronic sounds to improvisation with elements of popular Turkish cinema. His visual works borrow from zine and poster aesthetics and are collages of 70s and 80s Turkish melodrama and action films, political propaganda and media imageries of social phenomena.

Show 024: Brouillage
This program is based on texts written by the French poet Armand Robin. During the 50ies and 60ies he spent most of his time listening to shortwave radio stations in various languages, comparing the evolution of propagandist reporting. He was then publishing a weekly listening report that he printed and distibuted himself (I think it was 23 copies, made with a stencil printing machine). In this programme, readings of bits of text (it’s in french) are mixed with various sounds, a lot of them sampled from my friends Martiens Go Home.
