MICHIYO YAGI & JOHANNA SULKUNEN

Danish-Japanese hybrid at the intersection of jazz, electronics and thousand-year-old musical traditions.

Johanna Sulkunen sets a new standard for how widely one can conduct their work as an independent musician in the intersection between neoclassical experimental music, jazz and electronic soundscapes. Michiyo Yagi is classically trained on the large Japanese stringed instrument, the koto, and really found her footing during a stay in New York in the early 90s, where the introduction to John Zorn, John Cage, and the local noise rock and free jazz scene took hold in her.

Johanna Sulkunen - Vocal, electronics

SLOGLO

Matt Carroll aka SloGlo is a Chicago-bred drummer/producer based in Copenhagen. His debut record Symbols And Mirrors presents a contrasting mosaic of groove oriented electroacoustic habitats that reflect the dynamic soundscapes of electronica and jazz. The album explores the threshold between the conscious and sub conscious mind while experiencing love, beauty, and grief.

The name SloGlo comes from the idea that the sun, which represents life and clarity, shines even when we can't see it. Carroll had to embrace this reality when he moved to Denmark with its long winters and cloudy skies. He says, “The light is eternal, it is full of possibility and love, it is patient.”
