In 1983 Ostrowski founded the legendary Polish avant-tronic music group Bexa Lala. Fascinated by The Residents, Pere Ubu and The Pop Group, all members of Bexa Lala tried to do their best to master their beloved instrument - the beauty of the sound itself. Experimenting with sounds and sound production became an obsession. Experimenting with other musicians (also those from jazz and rock scene) was another obsession, pushing the group towards the area of modern kitsch. In the early nineties Ostrowski met Valentine Slab - an independent music producer who became a mental guru of Bexa Lala. Together they started analyzing the new media in music (samplers, trackers, children's toys). This brought them closer to techno, trip-hop, industrial, ambient or whatever you call it.
