Kitchen Motors is a record label, a think tank, and an art organization specializing in instigating collaborations and putting on concerts, exhibitions, performances, chamber operas, producing films, books and radio shows based on the ideals of experimentation, collaboration, the search for new art forms and the breaking down of barriers between forms, genres and disciplines. The main area of interest is in music, with special emphasis on the electronic and improvised kind.
"How about a symphony for 20 electric basses, 4 electric organs playing in unison at deafening volume or a Canadian jazz singer screaming from a refrigerator while someone plays with wet fingers on the insides of his synthesizer?" There was a time when thoughts like these and other alike were mere fantasies. . Now the Motors are bombarding the Icelandic and international experimental scene with odd performances and challenging Icelandic musicians and artists to step out of their "natural context" and explore.
