Saxophonist-flutist Ilmari Rönkä and vibraphonist Mikko Antila's duo music is chamber jazz, offering space for colors and nuances.
Formed in spring 2024, the duo performs Rönkä's and Antila's compositions, exploring the full potential of the duo setup: the warm blend of woodwinds and vibraphone, the melodies, and the rhythmic energy that captivate the audience. The compositions are influenced by classical music, Brazilian music, and the jazz tradition.
The duo released an EP titled Dancing Petals digitally in December 2024. Artist Maisa Immonen created a nature-themed animation for the piece Petal Dance.
