There is more than one band with the name Oval :

1) Ever since his groundbreaking early album releases, Markus Popp aka “Oval” continues to be one of *the* prolific / influential forces in contemporary electronic music, a true visionary of digital audio.

Popp’s now legendary early album releases sent shockwaves though the electronic music landscape and laid the foundations for an entire new class of digital sound & production aesthetics. With an undeniable instinct for the pleasantly irritating, the drastic and the dreamy, Popp pioneered “glitch” and “clicks & cuts” – and continues to inspire and provoke a new generation of musicians to this day.

The distinctive, organic appeal of Popp’s tracks, remixes and albums are often regarded as watershed moments for the entire genre. Many of his songs have been described as timeless, haunting classics, earning him critical acclaim worldwide - as well as the occasional art award here and there: “Ovalprocess”, his custom, software-based, interactive installation platform won “Prix Ars Electronica”.

Popp has constantly refined his signature style and instantly recognizable aesthetics in several 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, SQUAREPUSHER, PIZZICATO 5, GASTR DEL SOL etc.
