簡介。。。。。。

Finally available again! ‘Hei’ is one of those records that has fast attained classic status. Here’s what we said about it when it came out on CD a couple of years ago : “What a revelation this album is....'Hei' (Hey in Norwegian) is one of those albums that crosses any number of genres..spends a little time with each, mixes them about and comes out with a gorgeously lovely, masterful pop album. In much the same way as Iceland's Mum, or the groundbreaking 'The West' LP from Matmos, Hiorthoy has embraced known stylings and sounds and has created something completely unique. Playful, melodic, sometimes embracing electronica, sometimes employing glitch, sometimes exposing itself to folk music, sometimes flowering childrens lullabies...the overall effect is one of pure joy. Please, trust us, you will treasure this album”. And indeed you will. Utterly lovely.(from boomkat)

我的碎碎唸。。。。。。推薦指數：8.3/10

Hiorthøy的早期專輯，發行于千禧年，卻使得Hiorthøy在音樂道路上一舉成名。至今仍然被人們認爲是很經典的專輯，其中融合了衆多風格，衆多的元素，衆多採樣，非常豐富，而且可愛流暢，開拓了Hiorthøy式的電子民謠形式。

[Kim Hiorthøy|Hopeness EP]希望之歌

Artist：Kim Hiorthøy
Album：Hopeness EP
Release Date：2004
Label：Smalltown Supersound
Country：Norway
Genre： Electronic
Style： IDM, Downtempo

Tracklisting:

1		Mandarinerna (7:16)
2		Soliga Dagens Släppiga Trosor (5:56)
3		Alt Måste Bli Anorlunda (3:19)
4		You Know The Score (11:14)
5		Ek, Bok, Tistel, Äpple (2:14)

簡介。。。。。。

'Hopeness' is Hiorthøy's first all new material since his contribution to the amazing 'Pro Bono Publico' album back in 2002. This five track, thirty minute EP finds Kim flexing his bittersweet muscle with engrossing, lilting melodies recorded with that all encompassing hi-fidelity lo-fi attitude that typified his classic album 'Hei'. 'Mandarinerna' start's off with it's clattering backwards drums, electric piano sounds, childlike voices and optimistic aura - wondrous. 'Soliga Dagens Släppiga Trosor' adds a looping acoustic bassline over freestyle static clicks and pops just like Jan Jelinek's loopy jazz sampling with a broad grin on his mug plus at the end a bugged out drum maniac gets busy rounding out another killer track. 'Alt Mäste Blu Anorlunda' is a mini-gem of melodic ambience before the 11 min 'You Know The Scorfe' drops. Imagine broken beat meeting funky alpine folk and your halfway to describing this track - dope cuts it straight to the chase. Last up is 'Ek, Bok, Tistel, Äpple' a simple gorgeous piano solo, plus the lo-fi'esque recording technique throughout brings to mind the unique stylings of Rhythm & Sound or Vincent Gallo. Come July 2004 we’ll have the second long awaited full length album named 'For The Ladies', here's hoping it's as good as this EP. Spellbinding music.(from boomkat)

我的碎碎唸。。。。。。評價指數：7.6/10

2004年發行的一張EP，共有5個track。最長的一個達到了11分半，鼓點明快節奏激烈。有一個詞似乎能很好地概括這張EP，bittersweet，苦樂參半。希望大概就是這樣永遠處在喜樂和憂傷失望的中間狀態上。也許正是由於它的不可預知性，才顯得尤爲迷人。

簡介。。。。。。

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."

我的碎碎唸。。。。。。評價指數：8.1/10

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。
