about

Embark on a transitory audio adventure with "Now / Never / Whenever Vol.1," the first installment of an audacious EP series by the trailblazer Markus Popp aka Oval, exclusively on Bandcamp. This initial volume ignites the series, offering a new episode every first Friday of the month, available online for only 24 hours. As this aural journey unfolds, listeners will be treated to a curated selection of Oval's sonic innovations, all exclusive and previously unreleased.

Each part of the series reveals its own auditory discoveries, showcasing the latest in Popp’s extensive repertoire. Featuring tracks like "Kaleidom," "Mixtaplex," and "Transform Toujours", Vol.1 may introduce contemporary pieces, yet the journey as a whole will traverse everything from the outtakes of the “golden glitch era” 1990s to Popp’s most recent high-tech experiments – a testament to Oval’s relentless reinvention and the pushing of electronic music's boundaries.

Seize the day, for Oval's "Now / Never / Whenever" series will gradually compile into a shapeshifting, invisible album, a snowflake puzzle that beckons you to assemble it before it vanishes. Engage in a fleeting exchange with reserved rarities, and become a part of the ever-changing narrative that is Oval's ephemeral collage, momentarily yours every Bandcamp Friday.

about

Oval Berlin, Germany

Trailblazing glitch masterpieces (1990s), hyperreal, futuristic post-rock (after 2010), club bangers with a twist (2016) - Oval is a celebration of innovation, skill & sensibility. With an undeniable instinct for the pleasantly irritating, the drastic & the dreamy, M. Popp keeps on pushing the envelope. No one out there plays the computer quite like him.

Just imagine if these outtakes made it into EATEOT, the project would've been over seven hours! I love how "I Might Be Vanishing" is a stark contrast from other tracks, being only nine seconds. AG319 Alt Acc

During the final days of writing my thesis I listened to this album on repeat for hours at a time. It was like being suspended in one eternal moment while all that changed around me were the ripples and eddies of a slowly meandering river. catharina_bee
