Experimental music producer Oval (Markus Popp) has announced details of his forthcoming album - his first in ten years - that contains a massive 70 songs. Titled O , and confusingly preceded by an EP titled Oh, the genre pushing experimenter will be exploring scales, harmonics and melody in a way that he feels he has not been done before. He also utilized a cheap PC and freely available software and plug-ins.
"After years of dissection and denial I wanted to try making 'real' music for a change. The design goals for the short side B tracks were to attain the sense of a familiar sound and 'ringtone'. While it took me years to get the tech aspect down, the tracks themselves are pretty much recorded live and from here, I am very much looking forward to evolving this setup like a real band."
Like much of his previous work, his latest offering, which will come in slightly different vinyl and CD versions, will be released via Thrill Jockey.
