Biography Born Conrad Lambert in Dorset, England, he grew up in West Bretton & Huddersfield, Yorkshire and moved to London in 1992. Merz had three minor hits in 1999/2000 in the UK Singles Chart with ''Many Weathers Apart'', ''Lovely Daughter and Lotus''. 25 October 1999 his eponymous debut album was released on Epic Records. The album combined elements of 90s electronica with strains of pastoral folk and drew wide critical acclaim.

Merz (art Style)
Merz (art style) is a synonym for the more common expression and term Dada, and traces back to Kurt Schwitters. Origin Merz was conceptualized by Kurt Schwitters, who planned a Dada section in Hanover. However, upon being denied an invitation to the First International Dada Fair in Berlin in 1920, Schwitters wished to establish a subsect of the Dada movement that was tailored to his own artistic philosophies and visions. In his own words, he wished to find a "''totally unique hat fitting only a single head"— his own''. Etymology The name ''Merz'' was generated by chance through a collage that incorporated the German word ''Kommerz'' (commerce). The resulting word, which was nonsensical and spontaneously generated, was similar in origin and philosophy to the title of Dada. ''Merz'' became Schwitters's synonym for his own approach to Dada. Characteristics Like Dada, Merz was characterized by spontaneity and frequently made use of found objects. One of the most significant Merz a ...
