Eirik - trumpet & electronics
Tara - lyre, autoharp & vocal
"De flytende og n�rmest magiske tonene fra trompeten gav en flott harmoni
sammen med glad og lett harpespill. Med den myke og varme vokalen opp�
det hele ble publikum p� Kulturcaf�en n�rmest trollbundet."
Thomas Prytz Kv�rnbuen
Picidae have existed for two years. The very flexible little duo have played
in all kinds of places, from small acoustic happenings in bomb shelters to
electro-acoustic concerts in cathedrals and old factory halls.
The music they make has a kind of renaissance and child-like whim to it,
and Picidae's unique sound is found through the combination of the ancient
instrument lyre, a wabbly old autoharp and a trumpet.
Picidae have among other places played at Fl�rli (Lysefjorden/Stavanger), Canal Street (Arendal)
the designfestival 100% Ris�r (Ris�r) and Kristiansand Cathedral. The fall of 2005 they were
picked out to participate in �st- and s�rnorsks jazz centers concert series �Framtida i norsk jazz�
(The Future in Norwegian jazz) and played at Kristiansand jazz club and Bl� (Oslo).
