Goodiepal or Gæoudjiparl van den Dobbelsteen, that is Parl Kristian Bjørn Vester, is primarily a composer, but also a Danish performer and visual artist from the Faroe Islands. Self-taught, eccentric, Goodiepal is an alternative intelligence and one of the figures who have most influenced the course of recent underground music thanks to radical excursions into digital technology and the media in general. His lectures are based on a criticism of the educational system, which unfolds through an over-documented and hyper-structured discourse. In fact, he was previously a professor at DIEM (Danish Institute for Electro-acoustic Music) of the Royal Academy of Music in Aarhus, Denmark. But when in 2008 Goodiepal declared intellectual war against the stupidity found in modern electronic music and in art that is based on the media, he effectively declared war against the Royal Academy of Music and was thus ‘enabled’ to leave his job (this issue turns up in most of his lectures). Artistically active from the age of 19 years, prolific and restless, he has recorded for labels such as Spoof Records V / Vm Records, SKI-PP. Goodiepal believes that music should not be made ‘with’ computers but ‘for’ computers, and has done so in a series of memorable and misunderstood records such as the influential Brand Archive (for which he was prosecuted by Nokia and Carlsberg) or Mort Aux Vaches Ekstra Extra. He lives somewhere in Europe and is ‘married’ to the road. And for travelling, the only means he uses is his bicycle.
