Hildur
Gudnadottir, BJ Nilsen and Stilluppsteypa - Second Childhood
IHildur Ingveldardóttir Gudnadóttir:
She has been around in the core
of the neu-icelandic music scene for the past years, and is
a prominent figure within the group. She has worked with various
artists such as Múm, Skúli Sverrisson, Pan Sonic,
Jóhann Jóhannsson, Schneider TM, Angel, Stilluppsteypa
and is also a member of few bands, most noticeable Nix Noltes
Big Band, which plays a great blend of Bulgarian and Balkan
music, with some 'sonically dirty spices' as one once put it.
These spices must be doing her some good, for she's very active
on any side; she's composed quite a lot for various instrumental
arrangements, made music for film, theatre and dance projects,
played around with electronica as well as making sound-installations
and sound-related happenings. Her first solo album as "Lost
in Hildurness" was released by 12 Tónar 2006.

Stilluppsteypa:
"Foreigners think we're fighting
or cursing," once muttered Heimir Bjorgulfsson, the former
spokesman for the Icelandic expatriated ensemble Stilluppsteypa.
Since the departure of Heimir to the world of fine arts in
LA the axe was swinged again by Sigtryggur Berg Sigmarsson
and Helgi Thorsson, both now living in Iceland. Stilluppsteypa
have unleashed well over a dozen releases in their tumultuous
existence of electro-absurdism laced with subversion, black
humour, and horror.
