| 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. |
