MXZEHN 25 Masterpieces per Second
Since 1997 Bahadir Hamdemir and Stefan Kraus performed � until 2002 as genericPreset - since 2004 as MXZEHN on events and festivals across Europe. Each set is different but characteristic.
The visuals are 100% live and there�s no other VJ team that performs so physical and artistic to turn simple video mixers to
exploding visual organs. No boring �button shifting�- 34 and OPTOYZ are PAL rock�s that roll.
25 Masterpieces per Second
The images are never repeating. There are no loops, no footage from DVD players or computers,
except sometimes to add something to the live generated image. It�s hard to explain the difference here, but you can feel it immediately in a live situation. Loop and footage based VJing often focuses on mechanically syncing predefined footage to the beat. MXZEHN VJs perform the image every moment of the show together with and parallel to the music. That�s why MXZEHN visuals can fit to every style of music.
The Images are not slave to the music; they open up a dialog with the music in harmony or in contrast. Suddenly there�s space for virtuosity, method or madness, for the immediate artistic expression that has been exclusive to music for so long. Narrative structure, classic storytelling is not the main focus of MXZEHN. The observed process is unique - it has and is its own story.
Space / Scenography
Other than film or TV witch qualify as images in classical sense by being framed, videoprojections can merge with space, light and objects. They are hybrids of light and film and not necessarily the carrier has to be a screen. MXZEHN visuals are generated procedural and can thus fit in virtually any situation.
A close cooperation on the scenography is nevertheless necessary for optimum results.
