Biography
1) Markus Popp’s now legendary early album releases sent shockwaves through the “electronica” landscape in the late 1990’s - introducing a unique, new sound and digital production aesthetic. With an undeniable instinct for the pleasantly irritating, the drastic and the dreamy, Popp pioneered “glitch” and “clicks & cuts”, inspiring and provoking a whole generation of musicians to this day.
After a long hiatus, Oval is back, changing the game all over again with a new, groundbreaking “hyperreal” style and no less than 150+ compelling tracks total, spanning an EP and two double CDs/DVDs - proving him as one of *the* prolific & influential forces in contemporary electronic music, a true visionary of digital audio and beyond.
Past achievements
The distinctive, organic appeal of Popp’s 1990s tracks, remixes and albums are regarded as watershed moments for the genre: timeless, haunting classics, earning him critical acclaim all over the world and the occasional media/art award here and there.
Popp has continuously refined his instantly recognizable signature style in numerous musical collaborations, most notably with the long-running projects MICROSTORIA (duo with Mouse On Mars’ Jan St. Werner) and SO (with Japanese songwriter extraordinaire Eriko Toyoda). Popp has also worked for/with: BJÖRK, RYUICHI SAKAMOTO, TORTOISE, MOUSE ON MARS, WARREN SUICIDE, SQUAREPUSHER, JIM O’ROURKE, PIZZICATO 5, GASTR DEL SOL etc.

while this is totally music, i feel it's some sort of "anti-music", which is the best thing ever sometimes

The first half of Calidostopia! sounds a bit random but I like the second half.

I don't know if the creator reads this, but I wanted to share that I've been listening for years. You did/do good work. You have done well -- you may not be recognized, but it's made an impact.

When I finally watched Akira, I flipped out after realizing Oval sampled the Doll's Polyphony song in Theoriebahn.

Nothing similar in this world. Nothing like Wohnton, nothing like Systemisch...

Finally got around to ordering a copy of Ovaldna. Can't wait to give the program it comes with a try, in fact that's the main reason I bought it. I should also upload some video of it when I do too because there is currently nothing to look at of it in action anywhere online.
