Biography
Krøyt is an experimental musical adventure, exploring subtile elements of different musical landscapes. They can not be framed as «jazz», «rock» or «electronica», although you can find elements from all of these genres. They sprang out of the music scene on the Jazz program at Trondheim Musikkonservatorium (NTNU). They released their acclaimed debut album Sub in 1997, and the followup Low (1999) was met with excellent reviews, and it also won the Spellemannprisen in 1999 in the Open class. In a collaborative effort with the Swedish band Fläskkvartetten, they elaborated the commission for Moldejazz 2001. The EP album Body electrics (2001) include the song «Silent», awarded Edvard Prize 2000. For the «Vinterspillene» they composed «Frozen waterfall». Their latest release is the album One heart is too small (2001).
On behalf of «Nordisk Kulturfond» Krøyt toured 2000 in Köln, Bergen, New York City and Tammerfors, whereupon they entertained Norway on behalf of «Norsk jazzforum» (2001). The trio also made the performance While my heart beats still, in cooperation with Vertavo String Quartet (2003).
