Gívan Belá (fka Guy Van Belle, 1959) se narodil v Belgii, ale presídlil po přelomu milénia do střední Evropy. Od dorosteneckých let se věnuje experimentální hudbě. Od roku 2022 se nevěnuje umění, poté co dokončil 22 hodinovou poctu prvnímu performerovi a zvukovému umělci Arseniji Avraamovi ('Symphony of Sirens', Baku 1922 - 100 years celebration) a Notker the Stammerer, který byl nadšencem dnes zapomenutý žánr atekstalis a autora revoluční polyfonické antifony Media vita in morte sumus (St. Gallen 912, 1010 years ago). Changed styles and definitions from Psycho-acoustic to Electronic to Digital to Multimedia to Interactive to Web/Network to Sound to Eko/Bio to Science to (finally) No Art. As a side hobby was organizing eko-techno-countryside residencies in Hranice/Vysočina (kra.land), running a very very local makerspace (buttulab.space), writing his memoirs calling it 'the biggest lies about the world and artists I can remember'. Was a founding member of the virtual off-grid online band Rural Development, the abstract dead metal band Digital Death & Afterlife, and the elektro-skiffle band Ostropest. Like Bela Bartok he considered field recordings the best representations of sound which is music. Because everything can then be recoded differently and still be authentic.
