Jazz Finland Live

Free entry

Kaje and Mikko Hassinen take the listener on a journey to the electroacoustic sound world.

At the beginning of the evening Hassinen will talk about his own work and the use of electronics as part of his career as a percussionist. Mikko Hassinen is much more than a jazz drummer: he is also a composer of acoustic and electronic music, a conductor and a producer of jazz and classical music.

Kaje is a duo consisting of baroque instrument violone (Lassi Kari) and live electronics and synthesizer (Juuso Kontiola). This duo, which might be the first duo in the world to combine these instruments, learns about the possibilities of live electronics and sound synthesis as an extension of the violone's sound world in both composed and improvised music.

At the end of the evening, Hassinen, Kari and Kontiola perform together.
