bottrop-boy press release...

heimir björgúlfsson & jonas ohlsson
fur your bears only
cd / b-boy 016

heimir björgúlfsson is an ex-member of the longstanding icelandic group stilluppsteypa and jonas ohlsson is a reknown visual artist, at the time of the collaboration both based in amsterdam, the netherlands. fur your bears only is their second collaboration after the unspoken word tour album in the brombron series released by staalplaat and extrapool.

fur your bears only is the most melodic and poppy music ever to have come out of björgúlfsson & ohlsson, providing 8 tracks that show how disco & house can get distorted once in the hands of these two gentlemen. from the epic opening 10-minute title track onwards this work is full of abstract dancefloor sympathies. recorded in amsterdam, xiamen, los angeles and reykjavik, fur your bears only is the best example of how good a hybrid between classic dance music and abstract experimentalism can be. with beautiful collage artwork made by the two musicians themselves.

erstwhile press release...

stilluppsteypa (heimir björgúlfsson, sigtryggur berg sigmarsson, helgi thorsson): powerbooks and minidisc players
tv pow (todd a. carter, brent gutzeit, michael hartman): laptops, cds, and electronic instruments

stilluppsteypa and tv pow are two of the most prominent laptop trios in the world of experimental music. originally hailing from iceland, stilluppsteypa was formed in 1992, and the current lineup of heimir björgúlfsson, sigtryggur berg sigmarsson, and helgi thorsson has been together since 1995. they've released work on such prestigious labels as ritornell, meme, and their own fire.inc. imprint, but we are everyone in the room is their first improv record. based in chicago, tv pow (todd carter, brent gutzeit and michael hartman) was founded in 1995, and has performed with such prominent musicians as otomo yoshihide, erik m, taku sugimoto and john butcher. gutzeit and hartman also run the influential labels boxmedia and gentle giant, respectively, where most previous tv pow material has appeared.

in late october 2000, stilluppsteypa and tv pow embarked on a week-long tour of the us. the two groups, while familiar with each other's output, had never worked together before, but did so for part or all of each of these performances. we are everyone in the room was compiled from these shows, including their first collaboration ever at tonic in nyc. stilluppsteypa and tv pow combine a thorough knowledge and wide range of microscopic sounds with an uncanny feel for their deployment within an improv context.

the captivating cover art was created by leif elggren, a swedish conceptual artist and co-founder of the kingdoms of elgaland-vargaland.
