"what's Oval like?" i haven't heard any of his music, so help me out. perhaps some artists to compare him with? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
I heard one of his tracks on a perfume commercial this past winter. |

quite experimental -> fennesz, microstoria....oh i can't think of more now |
||||||||
|

Sort of like a cross between a rectangle and a circle. |
||||||||
|

i think you have in mind a square |

fair enough |

They sounded like a broken cd sometimes ago. Don't know if they have evolved to sounding like other broken media since then. |
||||||||

definitely check out 94 Diskont, one of the coolest ambient albums i know of... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
isn't that "him" only ? :) Oval is like Cocteau Twins of experimental electronica - if you like one of their records, you might as well like the others. l just like in my case. |

oval :: very intense loop driven micro sound. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh, I didn't know that Sebastian Oschatz & Frank Metzger had quit. For the record, I didn't know their names (other than Markus Popp), so I had to check discogs.com :) |
||||||||

i like Oval : ) ambient glitch. (or something like that.) much lighter and much more hazy than Autechre for example (and more easily enjoyable in my opinion)... |
||||||||
|

|
|
you know the sound of fast forwarding a cd ? "tzikk tzikk tzikk tzikk" that`s his thing, very interesting :) |

Oval has been founded by Markus Popp, Sebastian Oschatz, Frank Metzger in Darmstadt, Germany in 1991. In 1993 they released their debut "Wohnton" (with vocals!). After their third release "94 Diskont" (1996) they splitted. Nowadays Oval is Markus Popp only, whereas Frank Metzger works as Oval/Frank Metzger. a bit complicated :) i remember once seeing Markus in a TV documentary with Toma and Werner from Mouse On Mars. it was about their trip to Japan, the funniest document i've seen. |

"Hullo, I'm Oval. I make electronisch music." |
||||||||
|

|
"Wohnton" (with vocals!) funny record, in places |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

He dabbles in the occult and then makes strange music based on his experiences with magik, alledgedly. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if I compare what people said to that sample, none of it fits except for the "microbeat" part. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
can You prove it ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well, you can search on google for interviews. The occultic aspects of the music are discussed in a few of them. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh. I thought You read about it in an interview and would like to share the link. Thanks for the advice. And that was quite funny ! ha ! |

I have a radio show with Richard where they play him an Oval track and he talks about how he really enjoys it. Talks about the whole "skipping through SAW2" thing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, the sample is definitely real though, i assure you - i have the album... : ) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, I know.. people on this mb has a tendency to make stuff sound more special than it is... it sounds good, though, and I'll check for it. is it something you'd say would have a high probability of being easily available in norway? |
