Early days:
The history of Meadows & io starts in 1999 in the small culturally detached town of Kongsberg, Norway. The current members and composer Julian Skar formed the instrumental band Uramuse out of the remnants of the lofi-noise-pop band Osbie Feel. They went on for a few years before they transformed themselves into Revolting Tones Revue and later into When does the music Start?, introducing V.E on vocals. From this point on the creative collaboration of C.A.B.G and V.E was at the core of their songwriting. In 2007 Meadows & io was born with the line-up consisting of the current members in addition to Pål-Henrik Hagen from Sky is a roof and Kvelden og Natta and Christian Børke from Sightseers. In 2009 they released their debut album “Fieldwork”, a progressive alternative indie mash-up of a record, highly acclaimed by a lucky few. In 2011 the members of the band started to focus on other projects. C.A.B.G worked on his expressive video art and travels to remote places and V.E concentrated on As the tired trains cross Europe and Sightseers. Julian and Svein Olav spent their time working with the dusty old blues-chief Ulf Myrvold and was nominated for the Norwegian Grammy Awards for their album Old Memories, featuring V.E on guitars.

Fast forward to 2021… after a 10 year hiatus they finally started up their collaboration yet again. Now working together to implement a long overdue vision of combing film and music. The re-found relationship opened up an endless source of music and art. While indulging themselves in melody, textures and wide structures, the live show ORION appeared.
