His dedication to collective improvisation has led him to join forces with many kindred spirits, and he’s appeared on over 180 records and thousands of live performances. Besides his renown solo career, Corsano’s been the rim-batterer of choice for some of the greatest contemporary purveyors of jazz (Joe McPhee, Paul Flaherty, Mette Rasmussen, Zoh Amba) and rock (Sir Richard Bishop, Bill Orcutt, Jim O’Rourke), as well as artists beyond categorization (Björk for her Volta World Tour, Michael Flower, Okkyung Lee).

    Koho/Koskenlahti on laaja-alaisesti äänen parissa työskentelevän J. Kohon ja perkussionisti Minna Koskenlahden muodostama duo. Duon kiinnostuksen kohteina on tutkiskella erilaisiin tiloihin, tavanomaisiin soittimiin ja epätyypillisiin äänilähteisiin säilöttyä soivaa potentiaalia ja etsiä erilaisia keinoja sen vapauttamiseksi.

She is painter by education. Conceptually her work deal with the surrounding space.

    ミス (misu)

    ミス is a duo that performs sounds with loosely flapping strings and springs. The produced vibrations are then channeled through a gooey heap of electronics before bursting out of the speaker cones leaving a faint stench of doom metal in their wake. The cycle is completed when it all folds back on itself, fed back like the proverbial tail of Ouroboros. The chaos is further exacerbated by the partially Savonian lineup.

    Tickets: 15/10e

    *******************************************

    An uncompromising voice in contemporary music, ARRINGTON DE DIONYSO integrates ancient soundmaking techniques with trans-modernist inquiries into the nature of consciousness. His propulsive improvisations utilize voice and reeds as multiphonic tools blazing through the liminal spaces between shamanic seance and rock and roll ecstasy. In 1995 he founded the genre destroying No Wave Gospel band Old Time Relijun, releasing albums on K Records. In 2009 he created Malaikat dan Singa (“Angels and Lions”), a powerful new project integrating aggressive dancehall rhythms with gamelan scales, using the Indonesian language to interpret the mystic poetry of William Blake.

    HUR HUR is the solo project started in 2012 by multidisciplinary artist Timo Viialainen. It is based on the experimental use of an electroacoustic alto hurdy gurdy. This drone based instrument is mostly used in folk music, but used here to create an immersive wall of sound that also contains hints of melodic repetitive parts and rhythms. The live performances are an intense mix of slowly building compositional pieces and improvisation. Hur Hur has performed at various festivals and events in Europe and North America.

    3RD ENCOUNTER is the trio of Livia Schweizer, Hepa Halme & Turkka Inkilä. They explore the frequencies of flutes and different wind instruments, sometimes augmented with electronics.

    17.5. / Space talk! Where to from here? Past and future of Toinen Kerros 

    Have you found the space valuable for the sonic arts community? Do you want to see it continue? Please join us in this discussion, we want to hear from you! Your support and presence is essential for us to understand how to continue our collective work

    Now we are starting our third and final year of Kone Foundation support. As we approach this milestone, we would like to have an honest conversation about the sustainability of our project, our resources, and our volunteer network.


    The questions that we would like to answer together are:

    Is this space valuable for the communities? When the Kone Foundation grant ends, would it be possible to continue? Could this be a space shared by many organizations or individuals? What are the limits and possibilities of running a space communally? 

    Whether you have enjoyed the past couple of years or are concerned about the future of the space, and more in general about the shrinking of spaces and resources for arts, your voice is really important. Come share your thoughts on the challenges, options, risks, and possibilities that lie ahead.


    Afterwards we would like to invite you for a collective jam. Feel free to bring your own instruments if you wish to perform as well! 

    There will also be performances offered by Andrea Mancianti, Heu Hsu & Sulo Kolehmainen (magnetic objects / electronics) and Libero Mureddu and more. Thank you and save the date!

    Time: 17.5.

    Discussion starts at 16.00

    Performances from 18.30 onwards
