- Q6771529 abstract "Markus Wormstorm, (born Markus Smit) is a South African electronic musician in born in 1981.Smit moved to Cape Town at the age of 19 (2001) where he began his career on the city's electronic music circuit.He graduated from the Pro Arte School of music, art and drama in Pretoria, where he created a number of theatrical writings and won school awards for music and literature. Wormstorm received classical piano training at the age of 12.After moving to Cape Town, Wormstorm formed collaborations with other musicians. The earliest of these was IDM producer Felix Laband. Together they created ‘Killed by Dwarf’, a series of experiments spawned from jam sessions which were never released.In late 2001, Markus was invited by African Dope Records to submit music to their production music libraries. This resulted in a number of minor synchronisation licenses, which Markus quickly spent on hand-making copies of his “album”, which he would hand out at gigs and to friends. This brought him to the attention of rapper/composer/protagonist/satirist Waddy Jones, front man of Johannesburg's hip-hop group Max Normal. Later frontman for the band Die Antwoord. When Jones disbanded Max Normal in early 2002, he and long-time DJ partner Sibot invited Markus collaborate on Waddy's The Constructus Corporation project, which resulted in the concept album / graphic novel The Ziggurat (ADOPECD009 African Dope Records 2002).When The Constructus Corporation disbanded in early 2003, Markus and Sibot intensified their collaborations, giving rise to The Real Estate Agents, who work the Cape Town party and live music circuit, and tour South Africa and the world on a regular basis.Meanwhile, a copy of Wormstorm’s "demo" album had found its way into the hands of Alex Threadgold, owner of New York-based electronica / IDM label Sound-Ink, which resulted in a 3 album deal for Markus, alongside stablemates M Sayeed of Anti Pop Consortium and MF Doom. His first album for the label, Rachel the Bear, was released in digital-only format in 2006.Together with Simon Ringrose (Sibot) and his brother Duncan Ringrose (long-time collaborator and manager of The Constructus Corporation and The Real Estate Agents), he formed the corporate sound design agency ‘SAYTHANKYOU’, which has won a number of Gold and Silver Loerie Awards for Composition and Sound Design. Markus’s works have provided the soundtrack for ad campaigns for the likes of MetroFM (South Africa's biggest urban music radio station), VR Brandy, Audi, Ford, B.O.E., South African Design Indaba, Nokia and local mobile network CellC.In December 2004, African Dope Records, in association with management label Sshadoworkss, released Markus’ self-titled debut South African album, bundled as part of the 3CD pack The Real Estate Agents (ADOPECD012 African Dope Records 2004).Wormstorm is also writer and music producer for the animation collective The Blackheart Gang, who create short film stories. The group shot their film The Tale of How (2006), which toured with Resfest in 2007 and has won several animation awards including Chanel Plus – France.In 2006, together with vocalist and long-time collaborator Spoek Mathambo, Wormstorm launched a new collaborative music project called Sweat.X which they describe as "Afro-electro". Subsequent to an intensive networking effort on MySpace, Sweat.X signed a deal with the UK label, Citinite, in March 2007 and toured Europe in June/July 2007.2012 Markus created Biblo.tv an boutique online music search engine geared towards commercial licensing. Biblo.tv's motto is "library music that doesn't suck."In 2013 He released a 12 track album, "Not, I but A friend" on German label M=MAXIMAL, and was distributed through Kompakt.fmIn 2013 Markus founded Honeymoon Studios, which consists of two full service studios based in Cape Town.In 2014 he starred in the documentary Future Sounds Of Mzansi, as was interviewed as one of the pioneers of electronic music in South Africa.In that year he also created the an online store aptly called The Wormstore. In that year he also created Honeymoon Podcasts. His studio created three episodes in collaboration with the Arthur C. Clark winning author Lauren Beukes and political analyst, award winning author and historian Max Du Preez.In April 2015 Markus won a Safta Award for Best Achievement in Original Score for his work on the feature film Four Corners.Later that year he released a self-titled EP under the pseudonym of Akira on his own label Biblo Records for digital download.".
