Artist Information:

Johanna Sulkunen (voice, electronics)

Johanna Sulkunen is a Finland-born, Denmark-based composer, singer, improviser, and sound artist who has been active in the international experimental improvised music scene since 2009. She has gained recognition through her solo projects, as a member of the vocal group IKI, and through numerous national and international collaborations. With multiple Danish Music Awards nominations, major festival appearances, and international collaborations under her belt, Sulkunen is setting new standards for the breadth of work an independent musician can achieve at the intersection of contemporary classical experimental music, jazz, and electronica. Sulkunen has worked with notable names such as Tomasz Stanko, Lisa Ullén, and Jørgen Leth. In addition to her background in experimental improvised music, Johanna Sulkunen holds an MA in Anthropology from Helsinki University, a background that influences her music, often characterized by its exploratory nature and focus on humanity’s relationship with nature as well as cultural interactions.

Michiyo Yagi (electric 21-string koto, 17-string bass koto, electronics)

After receiving classical training on the traditional Japanese transverse harp known as the koto, Michiyo Yagi became inspired to write and perform her own music while teaching at Wesleyan University in the early 90s. During her tenure she was introduced to Christian Wolff and John Zorn as well as members of New York’s downtown music scene. This experience laid the foundation for her to become one of Japan’s most internationally sought-after improvising musicians. Known for collaborating with numerous prominent artists such as Peter Brötzmann, Tony Buck, Hamid Drake, Paal Nilssen-Love, Dai Fujikura, and Steven Wilson, Yagi has been instrumental in spreading international awareness of the koto.
