花瓣·聆音集

Kim Hiorthøy (b. 1973) is a Norwegian electronic musician, graphic designer, illustrator, filmmaker and writer.

Hiorthøy has provided graphic design work for the Rune Grammofon label as well as the rock group Motorpsycho

His musical style is difficult to classify; the Smalltown Supersound website includes the following description: "On his records Kim Hiorthøy combines weird beats, lo-fi/leftfield electronics, field recordings, electro-acoustic sounds and samples, resulting in a sound all his own."

Kim Hiorthøy真是一位多才多藝的藝術傢，他的創作領域涉及到了音樂、設計、電影、寫作等很多藝術領域。作爲平面設計師和插畫師，Kim為挪威著名的實 驗音樂厰牌Rune Grammofon和Smalltown Supersound打造的經典視覺設計贏得了全球廣泛的讚譽，被英國著名的設計評論傢Rick Poynor評爲了90年代后全球最值得關注的青年視覺設計師。

設計取得優異的成就之後，他開始嘗試著用與大多數音樂家不同的方式創作音 樂。他的音樂充滿天真的魅力，結合了古怪的節奏、Lo-fi的電音、豐富的採樣，既輕盈可愛又溫暖迷人。這張發行于2002年的專輯Melke被認爲是電 音界的一顆寶石。XLR8R雜誌將他與Matthew Herbert、Four Tet和Matmos一起並列為folktronica的音樂前沿。
