艺人介绍
Kim Hiorthoy是如此典型的北欧文艺人，着装简单，不声不响，却无时不刻地创造并扩大属于自己的疆域:平面设计、插画、摄影与录像艺术、写作、音乐。。。 他在众多的领域都建树颇丰，据说同一天里可能“他的画展正在伦敦举行，录像艺术作品正在卑尔根展出，而他则在柏林现场演出”。
Kim的音乐王国同他的视觉世界一样独树一帜、趣致、简单，有学院派气质，评论家说:Kim拥有一种“hi-fi与lo-fi，记录性与表演性，简单天真与复杂构造”之间的对比。轻快多变的俱乐部舞曲节奏中，融入纪录片式的录音采样(人群、梦呓、嚎叫等等)和悦耳的抓人的旋律片段，这让他的不少音乐带有一种叙述性，所以有人把他和Four Tet等电音民谣艺人归作一类，还有人因他的怪趣和原创性，把他比作北欧版的Aphex Twin。在他的音乐里，耳朵和脚底板都不得不“聚精会神”，绝非许多沦为“背景音乐”的lounge舞曲可比。
要知道Kim早在 2000年出版首张唱片之前，已蜚声欧洲前卫视觉艺术界，更作为北欧两大独立音乐厂牌Rune Grammofon和Smalltown Supersound的御用封套设计师，得到诸多乐迷的拥戴。Kim的音乐成就是现代科技让艺术家如虎添翼的例证。

Norway's Kim Hiorthøy is a multi-faceted artist whose work has included painting, illustration, graphic design, film, photography, and writing in addition his music, which is primarily electronic-based. In any given field of creative endeavor, and certainly in his musical explorations, he tends to defy conventions and rigid definitions, taking an unstudied and deliberately amateurish approach with typically curious and sometimes whimsical results. Born in 1973, he studied at the Academy of Fine Art in his native Trondheim, where he began experimenting with both graphic art (publishing 'zines and designing record covers) and sound recording (at first in the school's studio, then investing in his own sampling equipment.) His work in both audio and visual fields progressed more or less in tandem. As he furthered his fine art education with stints of studying in New York City and Copenhagen, he carried on dabbling in these and other areas (adding film to his résumé with several videos for the band Motorpsycho), eventually settling down in Oslo but continuing to participate in national and international gallery shows. In the musical arena, he is most closely associated with two highly respected Norwegian record labels: Rune Grammofon, for whom he has designed all of the album artwork, and Smalltown Supersound, which has released essentially all of his recorded output (as well as a fair number of his album designs.) Save for a self-pressed CD, Fake, which was included with his Book Without Function, a limited-edition art book from 1996, his first true foray into record-making came with a 7& on Smalltown in 2000. Hei, his well-received full-length debut, emerged that same year, swiftly followed by the odds-and-ends compilation Melke. 2004 brought a disparate trio of small-scale releases; the mellow IDM of the Hopeness EP, the &acoustic noise music& of For the Ladies, consisting of unmodified field recordings arranged without any actual &musical& material, and Live Shet, a mini-album focusing on the more straight-ahead, beat-driven electronica that Hiorthøy had been featuring in his live sets. My Last Day, released in 2007, was a full-fledged album of predictably unpredictable electronic music that drew on elements of most of his earlier work. In 2009 he announced the completion of a new recording project with a band called Drivan, a collaboration with three dancers-turned-singers from Sweden and Finland.
