Bio
Important: Please do not enter oversized images or unrelated adverts in comments What is Malfunct? Malfunct is an audio process that seeks the machine in human and human in the machine. Bootstrapped in the beginning of 21st century when it came to our attention that new sounds would be needed to define the transhuman. Malfunct! Defunct! That's what we are! A bit of history Malfunct was founded with the name Malfunction in year 2000 by Eray Ozkural, Arda Tipi and Murat Uney. We experimented with a lot of styles from industrial metal to EBM, and as far as we know we are the first band in Turkey to give serious attention to EBM, strange as it sounds. In preceding years, Eray worked on experiments in computer music while Arda perfected a progressive guitar style and Murat was the master of thrashing riffs and sound manipulations on the guitar. Two productive years in 2000 and 2001 gave birth to the initial but decisive sound of the band. Following a hiatus in 2002 due to relocations and other difficulties, Eray continued producing and composing on his own, towards the sound of malfunction, renaming the project as Malfunct since there was an old metal band with the name Malfunction. Some results of this work are available on this site. A 1 hour long demo CD called "Promo Machine" that contains 17 tracks was distributed to selected people which contained pieces from a wide variety of styles including old school industrial, EBM, industrial metal, electro metal, IDM, etc. in 2005, most of which were instrumental. This is the era after Promo Machine and it features a more "professional" sound, i.e. sounds just like other bands! However, the tracks "Cypherpunk Alliance" and "Sleep" are from the Promo Machine CD, and they feature the more original sound of Malfunct.

Industrial/EBM with industrial metal and coldwave influences. We don't sound like anything else, really, but the influences do show up. What we don't sound like: we're not a bad imitation of any other band. This is original!
