There is no feeling like the innocent elation of children, jumping into a
world created by a joint, unlimited imagination. Cristiano Nicolini (ITALY)
and Fannar Ásgrimsson (ICELAND) are Plastik Joy. The two met while
studying audio engineering in Barcelona (2005). Cristiano comes from a
homegrown electronic background, while Fannar grew from more folkrock
roots. Their shared love of music-making toys, and tendency to go
on sound tangents- with little regard towards genre or over complexitybrought
them together like two kids, racing the clock at recess. Plastik
Joy celebrates simple melodies and music play, equally born of plan and
mistake.
