Sigtryggur Berg Sigmarsson

Sigtryggur Berg Sigmarsson (b. 1977) is an Icelandic musician and sound artist, founding member of [a=Stilluppsteypa]. Sigmarsson was born in Akureyri, Iceland and studied sound art at the Fachhochschule in Hannover, Germany from 1998 to 2003. Apart from being a member of Stilluppsteypa, he released a number of solo albums in the early 2000's on such labels as [l=Trente Oiseaux], [l=ERS], [l=Helen Scarsdale Agency], [l=Fire Inc.] and [l=Bottrop-Boy]. He is also a member of 'laptop orchestra' [a=Evil Madness]. After a long break in solo career, Sigtryggur started releasing solo records again in 2013, and already published over a dozen of albums on CD/CDr, cassette and LP, mostly for the reanimated [l=Some (2)] label (used to be a sub-label on defunct Fire Inc., now operating separately). Among new albums there are also collaborations with [a=BJNilsen], [a=Franz Graf], [a=Tom Smith (2)] from USA and [a=Malneirophrenia] trio in Iceland.
