Lasse Hoile (born 1973 in Aarhus, Denmark) is an artist, photographer and film-maker. He has collaborated with musician Steven Wilson and his projects Porcupine Tree and Blackfield. He has also designed live visuals for the US progressive metal band Dream Theater. In the mid-1990s he was the vocalist for Danish death metal band, Panzerchrist. Today, he continues to create various designs used for music videos, posters, and band photography.
Hoile started working as an editor and producing short films in 1993. Five years later in 1998, he decided to take up photography as a hobby. As he grew more attached to this hobby, Hoile claimed he “started doing art seriously”. Since then, he has worked on documentaries, commercials, and short films. He is influenced by melancholic music, Francis Bacon, David Lynch, and Andrei Tarkovsky.
Hoile has directed videos and creating a number of album sleeves for Porcupine Tree since the release of In Absentia in 2002. Later in 2005, he directed the recording of Porcupine Tree's first live performance DVD, Arriving Somewhere..., which took place at Park West, Chicago. He also directed Porcupine Tree's music videos “Fear of a Blank Planet”.
The music video “Blackfield” for the band Blackfield has been recognized for its layering and vividness of winding photographs inside of photographs. Hoile also played a major role in the recording, editing, and direction of some of their live shows, including Blackfield Live in NY. Aside from Blackfield, he has worked very closely with Israeli singer Aviv Geffen on both live visuals and music videos such as Black and White shot at Abbey Road Studios in London, during the summer of 2007. He was also responsible for visual projections for the Danish group TV-2 (band) during their tour for their album "De første kærester på månen".
