@Raum 20,Berlin,24th June 2011

ChoP is a transnational music and visual project showing the aspects of constant development of the Far East and Eastern Europe. The performance of ChoP combines traditional and modern sounds of China and Poland with field recordings and ambient structures. The unique ChoP performance is accompanied by a live video presentation made by a VJ. 
ChoP was formed in September 2006 when Chinese sound artist Zen Lu began collaborating with Polish experimental musician Grzegorz Bojanek. With background in experimental electronica and industrial noise, ChoP's current sound is best described as "dark ambient with elements of field recordings". Positioned somewhere between a music and an art project, the duo have come to play in both exhibition spaces and concert halls. Their method of composition itself, exchanging samples across the internet between Poland and China, recalls the topoi of Isaac Julien's video installation "Ten Thousand Waves": collaboration and the crossing of boundaries.
