Kira Kira is a constant enigma – extremely hard to define and almost impossible to anticipate. As a founding member of Icelandic art collective Kitchen Motors, she has been a pivotal figure in contemporary Icelandic music, composing music extensively for theatre, dance and film and creating a myriad of sound and film installations everywhere from Beijing to New York. Taking a particular interest in blurring the lines between music and visual arts Kira has often appeared in castle towers, gallery spaces or curious hidden places and created lasting images of singing black holes, dueling smoke machines and exploding cassette tapes across the globe.
Before Kira Kira, Kristin Bjork Kristjansdottir played in Spunk, Big Band Brutal and The Sigridur Nielsdottir Experience. Kira´s second album, Our Map to The Monster Olympics was released on Smekkleysa in 2008, a sometimes terrifying, often glorious and touching kaleidoscope of a record.
