The Museum of Impossible Forms M{if} continues the improvisation and experimental music sessions. Seasoned local and international improvisors will meet up on the stage of M{if} in Kontula creating unique performances. After the official program everybody who dares to improvise are invited to the blind dates sessions, which consists of short sets in solo, duos, trios or groups with the musician guests. Curated by Sergio Castrillón.
For Improv Session IX, Katri Tikka and Eemeli Solehmainen will expand the possibilities of atonal and eclectic sound patterns:
Katri Tikka
In her improvised performances, Katri Tikka explores outstandingly the timbre of the pedal harp mainly through preparations all over the instrument and with extended playing techniques, including different physical postures. In addition, her technical and musical-genre versatility on the instrument generates an eclectic sound result.
Eemeli Solehmainen
Eemeli Solehmainen’s work shows a strong interest in atonality and segmented rhythmical patters, approached in a pointillistic style. On the other hand, his improvisations also display a recurrence to superimposed melodies and harmonies in a more tonal development. Unlike many piano improvisers of his generation, Solehmainen focuses his playing mostly on the keyboard.
The event continues with our regular practice of Blind Date Jamming, where members of the audience may ask other audience members and/or the invited guests for the opportunity to 'Jam' or play a short improvised piece together.
Welcome.
