Actually, there have been over 100 people that have come and gone and come and gone that it would be quite difficult to list all of the contributers, some of whom have made a VERY large impact on us, and therefore I would like to give a big OPA to all of them, and hope that we see them again in the future.
Influences:
As for visual: though no one has ever seen any of his superior and meticulous animations, we all seem to dream in Jan --vankmaje, and then awake strangely, without ever discussing our night worlds. As for audio: the Chinese opera, in particular the percussion section, has provided us with all the necessary ingredients to create a cacophonous blend of skrunk jazz.

Sounds Like:Imagine if Fats Waller and Sidney Bechet were taxi drivers in Istanbul... Peter Ralchev walks in front of their car as they ascend the steep hill heading towards the Tunel to find new clarinet reeds. Peter, understandably, is upset because they are driving too fast without regard to the rights of pedestrians or stray dogs. A heated argument commences, and Sidney Bechet pulls out a pistol and fires a shot in the air. The Beyoglu Belediyesi Polis come to solve the argument with a loud resounding "Yok," and tell them that music is not allowed on Istiklal Sokak. They say to the cop "Sen cok aptal!" and the cop moves them on. Now, united in their rage against the Belediyesi, they go to a cafe to get sick and their music is a cacophony of hot jazz and Bulgarska deedling. Nobody can make out a rhythm, nore a distinguishable melody.
We are not that good. Although we lack rhythm and melody, we are not of the professional status of the WallerBechetRalchev trio and can barely play our instruments. Listen to find out.Ruining a nice Islamic wedding
