6. Why did you leave Oval?

Strictly speaking, neither Sebastian nor I actually "left" oval. In 
the summer of 95, it became clear that Markus had very different 
goals for oval
than I did. Increasingly, he wanted to professionalize oval.
For him, it was no longer so much about the music, and the fun that 
went along with it, than it was about strategical condsiderations and 
marketing.
I wrote a letter to Markus regarding this, which he has not answered 
to this day.
With Sebastion, the situation was similar. He saw on the television 
that he was no longer an oval member. In a piece on the Japanese tour 
of
mouse on mars/microstoria/oval that was broadcast by the German music 
television station VIVA, there was a subtitle in a video clip of one 
of the
oval pieces, which read: "This video was generated on the computer by 
Markus Popp and ex-oval member Sebastian Oschatz." It's pretty likely
that Markus was responsible for this subtitle. And Sebastian also no 
longer has any kind of contact with Markus.
