Marc BLIEUX
Marc Blieux was born in 1970 in Vichy.
He defines himself as a researcher. After studies in plant biology, this research moves into the artistic field. In 2000, he creates the Epsilo center and develops a theory asserting that the flow of subjectivity are transmissions of energy. In his opinion, the contribution of quantum physics in the building of a new thought model can only be effective by understanding its implications in each of our lives.
He is not interested in creating isolated works in a closed system, but carrying out experiments taking into account 3 ecologies: natural, social, and psychological - as Félix Guattari defines it. Marc develops his projects in a school as well as in an art center. With the AIRE project in 2006, the artistic structure with which he works becomes the first French association to set up in the 3D digital platform Second Life. In 2010, a national museumâs project that was launched and developed by Marc Blieux wins an award for innovative cultural service by the Minister of Culture.

Charlie MARS
Born on April 14, 1980. After a vocational training certificate to become a plasterer, he tries out different activities: fakir, diaper deliveryman, actor, punk singer, etc⦠Next he tries video images, and makes, alone in his bathroom and with a video-surveillance camera, various films that will lead him to more arduous productions. A dabbler in video-making, sometimes director, sometimes veejay, or even a TV host (from 2008 to 2010 he presented the show âHome-made filmsâ on Canal+). A wild autodidact, his work is an invitation to create brazenly.

ZÃL
Jean-François Corbel started the Zôl project. In 2002, his passion for writing and programming leads him to cross paths with Christophe, a member of the Sayag Jazz Machine and director of the independent label LaMixerie. This encounter will speed up the pitch of his young career. It will eventfully end up with the release of the first album âZôly Ordinaireâ (LaMixerie/La Baleine). An action-packed year since his name is retained for the Riddim Collision#8 organized by the label Jarring Effects (High Tone, Ez3kiel) before he is directly registered on the roster of the JFX sets in 2007. In almost compulsive artistic emulation, Zôl works with the director Charlie Mars who concocts for him the clip âThe Revenge of Boorbieâ, as well as on television theme music (âNoCâ on Nantes 7), an internet ad campaign (Nokia), or even with a young contemporary dance company of Saint-Nazaire where he lives.
Thereâs no stopping this beatmaker with an insatiable curiosity! [Trap], his latest project, was programmed on the Transmusicales in Rennes 2010 and at the Printemps de Bourge 2011!
Zôl plays by his own rules between electro pugnitive, dirty hop, and noisy break. This great âmachinistâ sends out superbly efficient and euphoric music like a breath of helium!
