Tuesday 1.9.2026 at 19.00 at Toinen Kerros, award-winning saxophonist, composer and sound artist Heli Hartikainen performs two works: Interbody (released as an EP in April 2026), and a pre-premiere of Flux, an upcoming commission for Oulu2026. 

Cal Cashin from Loud and Quiet Magazine wrote: “Interbody is a delight in exploratory noise making. Hartikainen’s sax is meshed with the live electronics of an erratic sampler, with their playing percussive and rolling to match the barrage of scattergun electronics; a barbed and pointy exemplar of contemporary soundscape work.” 

Flux, a work for tenor saxophone, electromechanical solenoids, sensor controlled electronics and speakers, is a commission for Oulu2026 European Capital of Culture and will be performed at Oulu Cathedral on 18.9.2026.
