Kitchen Motors is more than just a record label; it's an organization that specializes in: "instigating collaborations and putting on concerts, exhibitions, performances, chamber operas, producing films, books and radio shows based on the ideals of experimentation, collaboration, the search for new art forms and the breaking down of barriers between forms, genres and disciplines." The idea for Kitchen Motors began to emerge in April of 1999 as a concert series every Monday evening at Reykjavik 's Kaffi Thomsen. Musicians from all different backgrounds would meet-up and improvise a half-hour of music together. Kitchen Motors was created primarily as a venue for "radical experiments in the merger of art forms. Although their main area of interest is in music, particularly improvised electronic, and its "collision with other media, theatre, sicence, visual art, etc." They regard the commission and development of their work as an an "artistic process that is no less important than the work itself, i.e. the process is as crucial as the end result." The founders and main architects are: Kristín Björk Kristjánsdóttir, Jóhann Jóhannsson and Hilmar Jensson.
