MARTIN HALL
KEYNOTE: CROSS-FERTILIZATION BETWEEN ARTISTIC GENRES
In his talk Martin Hall describes himself as coming from a background characterised by diversity. Especially because he has all the way through his career been doing some very commercial projects, which is rather unusual for an artist. Diversity to Hall thus also became about bridging the different worlds, such as between the art-world and the commercial world.
Singer, composer, multi-instrumentalist and author, born April 26, 1963, Denmark. Martin Hall began his musical training at the age of ten at the Piano and Music Academy of Copenhagen.
First record release at the age of 17 as singer and composer in the avantgarde ensemble Ballet Mécanique whose debut album The Icecold Waters Of The Egocentric Calculation from 1981 is regarded as a cornerstone in contemporary Danish music history.
Since then MH has released a series of albums ranging from industrial music to neo-classical recordings, a line of books on major publishing labels as well as several magazines and anthologies.
His literary debut from 1983, Genopbyggelsen Er Stoerre End Selve Skabelsen (The Recreation is Greater than the Creation Itself), aroused equal amounts of excitement and furore.
Martin Hall thereby distinguishes himself from a range of other artists by mastering several different disciplines, and at the conference he will share with us how be benefits from this multidisciplinarity in his work.
