There is more than one band with the name Oval :

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.

    I've heard about that. Too bad Ovalprocess never got released that would have been so fun to mess with. Can we use the sounds from ovaldna's dvd rom in our own compositions or is it just like we're remixing Oval?

    I never used one of those older style CD players before. Well at least that new Ovaldna cd/dvd package is going to have 2000 original AIFF sound files that we can mess around with in the Ovaldna software that's being released very soon. I'm gonna have fun with that.

    Same here. You gotta use an older cd player or disc drive since it doesn't have the auto correction that the readers have nowadays.
