   About vorn - finalist in Handle The Jandal 08
Henry Fielding was born at Sharpham Park, Somerset in 1707, the son of an army officer of aristocratic descent and profligate ways. In 1725 he was bound over to keep the peace after attempting to abduct an heiress. He was educated privately at first, then at Eton, and from 1728 to 1729 at Leyden University. He Began his career as a novelist in 1741. This however, is not his Bio. It is the Bio of Vorn.

Vorn was born at Tauranga Hospital, Tauranga, in 1977, the son of a square dancer of aristocratic bearing and profligate facial hair. In 1993 he was bound over into a series of really quite awful high school rock bands after attempting to grow a mullet.
He has recorded and produced four albums.

Normal the Normal Normal (1999)
"... a great grinding grandpappy of an album it is too. . . returns self-indulgence to its rightful place at the top of the desirable qualities list".
-Chris Knox

Not Quite As Good (2001)
"Vorn has made a mountain out of his molehill ...despite the flakey quality, beautiful passages, poignant lyrics and layered detail emerge miraculously through the gloop."
-New Zealand Musician Magazine

Thunk! (2006)
"...truly deserves the title of genius . . . if you like alt-pop, your mission for this year is to find this album and fall in love - ***** "
- Lyndon Walker, Rip it Up Magazine

Vorn and the (2008)
"... somewhere between The Beatles' Abbey Rd album and a soundtrack from a David Lynch film... If you're looking for a fresh pop album that scoops up every musical genre you can think of and sprinkles them across 14 tracks this one would be worth a look."
- Jim MacLane, Pulp Magazine

Vorn currently abides in Wellington, with his collection of instruments and some rather iffy recording gear. He is an Aries, and thinks High Voltage was easily AC/DC's best album, no matter what anyone says to the contrary.

Very nice rapping.
Kurosawa





Oct 28 2008 7:48 PM

Kurosawa's debut album, 'Your Star Has Fallen Over' is now available from CD Baby as a digital download!

..KUROSAWA: Your Star Has Fallen Over..

Kurosawa is a musical collaboration between Paul Cartwright, Adam Spellicy and Karen Vogt. The result is a graceful collision of soaring, ethereal vocals and lushly atmospheric, infectiously melodic acoustic and electronic sounds.

Visit cdbaby. com/cd/kurosawa - you can listen to all 14 tracks before you buy.

We thank you for your support!

Hey Vorn - love the music video! Admittedly, it was a bit extravagant and highbrow, but I can forgive you that.
I agree with the YouTube comment - this song has to be played LOUD!

Acoustic lounge are saying very nice things about you. Have you seen?

In case you haven't:

"Vorn's musical vision is so complete, so powerful, so THERE that I can't find the words for it. Think Zappa with less arrogance, Brian Wilson with more funk, Syd Barret with less whimsy, Lou Reed minus the suck, Aphex Twin with tunes, Neil Finn with a spiteful streak...I run out of words for this guy."

Come student allowance day (thursday) I shall purr-chase your album from slowboat.

i just thought you'd like to know.
