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. |
We
Are Everyone In the Room 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 more established the contemporary genre of noise music becomes, the more surprising it is to hear serious creative distinctions. TV Pow and Stilluppsteypa, two long standing outfits in a field known for there-and-gone participation, have proven to be both dedicated and utterly engaging in their furthering of this most modern of musics. Informed by all concepts of avant garde art music, they successfully transcend any manner of description." -- Thurston MooreMore Erstwhile One Final Note Review Label Profile from One Final Note :::>>> Tell A Friend About This CD From Drimala If you like this cd, you might also enjoy listening to: do (Toshimaru Nakamura and Sachiko M) SHOW (Hans Fjellestad and Damon Holzborn) Bits, Bots and Signs (Otomo Yoshihide, Norbert Möslang and Andy Guhl) The Flirts (Cor Fuhler and Gert-Jan Prins) An Acceptable Color (TOG) VHF / Extracts (Graham Halliwell, Simon H.
