Mikko Sarvanne
For composer Mikko Sarvanne, music reveals places: abstract, invisible spaces of harmony, and tangible, physical spaces that are constructed in real time through performance. On ”syklit jotka puhkeavat” EP Sarvanne invites stones, water and sandpaper to shape a space of cycles — and the cycles to blossom as glowing pillars of resonance.
Lumi Mannermaa
Lumi Mannermaa is a sound artist based in Helsinki who works between the realms of failure and success, using absurdity as a medium for communication. In her practice she uses augmented toy instruments, free improvisation, experimental instrument building, pataphysical conceptuality and modern day nuisances, such as social media content streams, covering subjects such as mistakes, the subconscious, and the ugly and humorous, to name a few.

Mikael Karkkonen
“Mikael Karkkonen trying to regulate their heartbeat in front of an audience for approximately fifteen minutes”
Mikael is a playwright, dramaturg and producer. Their artistic work moves across theatre, performance and media art. In recent years, they’ve worked extensively as a writer, dramaturg and producer—both independently and as part of collaborative teams. At present, they’re interested in works that play with the contractual nature of performance and its structure. They’re particularly drawn to performance as a social event, and how the internet and technology might be integrated into live work.
