Martin Yam Møller is a half-Danish and half-Hong Kong Chinese songwriter and ambient artist based in Copenhagen, Denmark.
This odd combination is reflected in his musical output which is equal parts straight story-telling on acoustic guitar and vocals, but also improvised soundscapes played back with 4-track cassette tape machines and ethereal fx. At Compound Yellow he will do both during early August, with new collaborators from the Chicago area.

With the story telling part, listeners can look forward to songs with a unique lyrical shock. Where Martin tells both personal stories, but also observations on how the world is twisting into and out of shape.
The improvised ambient soundscapes are created by ‘performing’ on old 4-track tape machines using pre-recorded materials from cassettes. Sonic materials that Martin often records from the local area of the venue, where the performance itself takes place. These are interleaved with a collage of melodic snippets and spoken word poetry, as well as synth drones and heavily processed samples. All of which Martin mixes and manipulates live in concert.

Martin is currently releasing his new album ‘9 Odd Songs’, where each single comes out on the first Friday of the month. With the final single released in August, completing the whole album.
