About Voltaire
There are three artists called Voltaire.
1. Voltaire (born 1967 in Havana, Cuba) is a singer/songwriter whose music has its roots deeply embedded in European folk music, but also has influences from the gothic scene. He has also been directing commercials and animating short films for ten years, and is best known for his Hieronymous Bosch-inspired station ID's for MTV.
Inspired by the films of Ray Harryhausen (Jason and the Argonauts, The 7th Voyage of Sinbad), Voltaire began animating at the age of ten on a super8 camera. By piecing together snippets of information from fanzines, he eventually was able to teach himself how to make foam rubber animation models and animate them. The films of his childhood landed him his first directing job in 1988 with MTV. The stop-motion tour of the hellish Garden of Earthly Delights won several awards.
He also teaches stop-motion animation at the School of Visual Arts in New York City.
He also wrote the song "Brains!" for the Cartoon Network show "Grim and Evil" which has since split into two separate shows (The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, Evil Con Carne) and the song can also be found on his album "Boo Hoo".
An avid fan of Star Trek, Voltaire frequently attends conventions and released a four track E.P. called "Banned on Vulcan". It was a set of comedy recordings poking fun at characters from the show.
2. Voltaire also is the name of a German indie-rock group who have recorded one EP and one Album, called "Heute Ist Jeder Tag". Their official web page is http://www.voltaire-musik.de.
3. Voltaire also is the name of a Polish punk rock band who have relased two albums. Their official site seems to be http://www.voltaire.pl.
