Kim Hiorthøy (born 17 March 1973) is a Norwegian electronic musician, graphic designer, illustrator, filmmaker and writer.
After various "collaborations and accidents", his music was eventually introduced to Joakim Haugland of the Smalltown Supersound record label.
[3] 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.
[1] 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".
