Oval, the brainchild of German electronic composer and media artist Markus Popp, has been a pioneering force in the realm of experimental electronic music since the early 1990s. The project is renowned for its distinctive approach that involves digital deconstruction of sounds to create complex, abstract audio textures and atmospheres. By manipulating CDs and digital audio files to produce glitches and skips intentionally, Oval's music transcends the conventional boundaries of electronic music to explore uncharted auditory landscapes. This technique has not only defined Oval’s unique sound but has also influenced the wider glitch and experimental electronic music genres.

Throughout the years, Oval has continued to evolve, embracing changes in technology and Popp's own artistic vision to explore new sonic territories. The most recent releases, such as "Romantiq," "Rytmy," "Touha," and "Eksploio," demonstrate a commitment to pushing the boundaries of electronic music further. These works blend intricate rhythms with meticulously crafted textures, showcasing Popp's mastery in creating immersive soundscapes. With a career spanning over three decades, Oval remains at the forefront of the experimental electronic music scene, continually challenging and reshaping listeners' perceptions of digital music.
