'''Kim Hiorthøy''' (b. [[March 17]], [[1973]]) is a Norwegian electronic musician, [[graphic designer]], [[illustrator]], [[filmmaker]] and [[writer]]. |
|||
==Biography== |
|||
Hiorthøy was born and raised in [[Trondheim]], [[Norway]], and studied at the [[Norwegian University of Science and Technology|Trondheim Academy of Fine Art]] (1991–96) as well as the [[Royal Danish Academy of Art|Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts]] in [[Copenhagen]] (1999-2000). During his tenure at the Trondheim Academy of Fine Art, Hiorthøy spent a year abroad in 1994 to attend the [[School of Visual Arts]] in New York. Currently, he lives and works in Berlin, Germany.<ref name=KimBio> {{cite web|url= http://standardoslo.no/v1/k.hiorthoy.bio.php| title = Kim Hiorthøy Biography |accessdate=2007-09-02 }}</ref> A fictionalized version of Hiorthøy is a character in [[Erlend Loe]]'s novel ''[[L (novel)|L]]''. |

==Career== |
|||
===Music=== |
|||
Hiorthøy began making music while attending the Trondheim Academy of Fine Art; he worked in the academy's sound studio until he left school and purchased his own equipment. After various “collaborations and accidents”, his music was eventually introduced to DJ Joakim Haugland of the [[Smalltown Supersound|Smalltown Supersound]] record label. Haugland asked Hiorthøy to work with the label, and in 2001 Hiorthøy released his debut album, “Hei”.<ref> {{cite web|url=http://www.themilkfactory.co.uk/interviews/khiorthoyiw.htm |title=The Milk Factory Interview with Kim Hiorthøy |accessdate=2007-09-02 }}</ref> He has subsequently released several albums, EPs, and 7 inch records with Smalltown Supersound.<ref name=SMALLTOWN/> |
|||
Hiorthøy’s musical style is difficult to classify; the Smalltown Supersound website offers 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.” His live sets, however, differ from his recordings, with louder, faster beats and a techno undertone.<ref name=SMALLTOWN> {{cite web|url=http://www.smalltownsupersound.com/v1/artists.php | title = Smalltown Supersound Artists |accessdate=2007-09-02 }}</ref> |
|||
===Graphic Design and Film=== |
|||
While exploring music at the Trondheim Academy of Fine Art, Hiorthøy simultaneously began his work in graphic design. He started to publish fanzines and design record sleeves for local bands, and as time passed he began to work more seriously in a variety of creative mediums. To date, Hiorthøy has released several collections of photography, drawing and design, and has provided cover art for the [[Rune Grammofon]] record label and the rock group [[Motorpsycho]]. He is currently represented by STANDARD[http://www.standardoslo.no/v1/], an Oslo-based gallery aimed at promoting contemporary Norwegian artists. Some of his other creative achievements include film directing, film photography, and illustration for children’s books.<ref name=KimBio/> |

In a 2004 interview with KultureFlash.com, Hiorthøy described the relationship between graphic design and music: “I regard them as very different things, even though the place in my head that decides if something works or not is the same for both”.<ref> {{cite web|url=http://www.kultureflash.net/archive/99/priview.html | title = Artworker of the Week 37, Kim Hiorthøy |accessdate=2007-09-02 }}</ref> |
