shitkatapult press release...

oval / ovaldna - strike0134 the dvd-rom contains 2000+ soundfiles by oval, ovaldna software, oval musicclips, oval documentation and bonustracks. in many ways, “o”, released on thrill jockey after a nine-year break, was a second debut album for markus popp aka oval. a radical break with old concepts and methods, a new beginning. while popp’s artistic approach in the 1990s and early 2000s was more of a structural, theoretical nature, “o” was just about the music itself. themes such as the means of production, limitations, dogma and concept took back seat to a musical sensibility. instead of writing new software to synthesize and process sounds, for “o”, popp dove into the heart of our preset-culture. he acquired a standard pc and only used the pre-installed sounds and plug-ins. with this ready-to-play machine and conventional musical instruments like the guitar and drums, a new chapter in the story of oval was written. the musician markus popp takes center stage: the developer, theoretician and media artist remains in the background - special knowledge, which makes it easier to understand oval’s music. just have a listen.  dna is a mountain of an album: an audio cd with 25 tracks, each about three minutes long. some are no longer than a minute. here you’ll find a collection of rare oval pieces and 12 previously unreleased tracks. dna is a mixture of music from markus popp’s various creative phases. it’s surprising how old and new meld seamlessly together, and how, for oval, formalism and musicality have produced similar results. markus popp has found an unmistakable musical language and declined it from a to z. dna, so to say, is the accompanying dictionary. originally, this album was supposed to appear before “o” and conclude the “electronic” phase of oval. a farewell of sorts.
