Voice and Strings and Timpani is the latest project of guitarist Stephan Meidell and drummer Oyvind Hegg-Lunde, two of the most important figures in the new wave of Norwegian music. They are also staples of the Hubro roster of artists and of the vibrant Bergen experimental music scene. Both play in the acclaimed band of violinist/fiddler Erlend Apneseth; Meidell is part of the trio Cakewalk, plus his own solo projects including the Metrics Ensemble and Trigger, while Hegg-Lunde plays with Building Instrument, Electric Eye and Jose Gonzales' indie band Junip. They have worked together for fifteen years and released four albums, first as the duo The Sweetest Thrill, and then as Strings and Timpani. Both have collaborated across various art forms with other artists.
