Sigtryggur Berg Sigmarsson was born in Akureyri, Iceland in 1977. He studied sound art at the Fachochschule in Hannover,
Germany from 1998 to 2003 and has been a long-time member of the band Stilluppsteypa.
His work on CD has been variously described as collage, quiet drone manipulations, and calm and minimal, which offer a range
of still, contemplative moments, contrasted with more discordant (though not necessarily noisy) ones.
