Goodiepal or Gæoudjiparl van den Dobbelsteen, whose real name is Parl Kristian Bjørn Vester, is a controversial Danish/Faroese musician/ composer. Goodiepal's work often involves lectures and performances on the future of computer music, his own compositional practices and resonance computing. His tours have included 150 universities internationally. From 2004 till 2008 he was the head of the electronic music department and a teacher at DIEM (Danish Institute for Electro-acoustic Music) at the Royal Academy of Music in Aarhus, Denmark. He is the author of two books, Radical Computer Music & Fantastisk Mediemanipulation and El Camino Del Hardcore - Rejsen Til Nordens Indre.
Goodiepal is also known for travelling over very long distances using only his home-made cabin bike Kommunal Klon Komputer 2 that, with the help of a top-of-the-line dynamo system, could provide all the electric power needed for the equipment he used during a concert (which often involves playing back and recording from his audio recorder).
Goodiepal has given away both money and most of his belongings; in 2011 he published an “album object” containing a 500 Danish Crowns note and sold it for 250 Danish Crowns. During the Transmediale 2012 festival Goodiepal shipped his belongings over to install and subsequently give them away one by one, dubbed as the 'MORT AUX VACHES EKSTRA EXTRA – THE GIVE AWAY!' performance. In 2014 an advertisement in the Wire hinted at Goodiepal looking for a new owner for his self made Mechanical Birds.
In 2014, Goodiepal sold Kommunal Klon Komputer 2 to the National Gallery of Denmark, where it is now on display. A new bike is in the making, Kommunal Klon Komputer 9.
