Discovery Zone is the solo project of New York-born musician and filmmaker JJ Weihl, who is based in Berlin. Weihl is also a founding member of the Berlin experimental pop band Fenster. Under the Discovery Zone name, she works in indie electronic music with connections to synthpop, ambient and dream pop.

Background

Weihl is born and raised in New York City and later lives in Berlin. Discovery Zone is a moniker for her solo work rather than a separate group. The project sits alongside her wider work as a filmmaker and musician.

Other work

Outside Discovery Zone and Fenster, Weihl serves as creative director of the video art collective VIDEOKILLS. That collective curates Invisible City Symphonies, a travelling exhibition that combines contemporary silent film with live original music scores.

Additional activities

Weihl also works as a translator, produces radio programmes, curates, DJs, promotes concerts, and writes and makes films and music videos.
