    Our project is based on physicality of sound,
    whether it is made by a music instrument or by a moving body.
    Between movement and sounds there is an active space where our encounter happens.
    The outcome is based on a shared listening, and not on shared materials.
    Therefore, we can be fully independent through togetherness.

    Libero Mureddu is an Italian and Finnish pianist, improviser, and composer based in Helsinki. With thirty years of experience across the European music scene, his artistic practice explores the intersection of free improvisation, algorithmic processes, and music technology. Currently, he leads the murmur trio with Andrea Grossi and Cristiano Calcagnile, and performs with the quartet Mother’s Delight, with Jukka Kääriäinen, Harri Sjöström, and Heikki Nikula. He also maintains regular duo collaborations with artists such as Charlotte Hug and Corinna Eikmeier. Alongside performing, Mureddu teaches contemporary free and electroacoustic improvisation and is a doctoral researcher at the Sibelius Academy.

    Terhi Vaimala explores the intersections between dance artistry and scientific knowledge, particularly anatomy and biomechanics, and their potential as tools within the choreographic process, dancers’ work, and dance training. Vaimala is interested in possibilities of choreographing the embodied, lived and experienced knowledge into communicating aspects of human experience and phenomena within the surrounding society.

    Terhi has over 20 years worth of diverse experience as a dancer and dance maker working with numerous independent dance companies and institutions mainly in Finland, including Carl Knif Company, Petri Kekoni Company, Alpo Aaltokoski Company, Liquid Quartet, Arja Raatikainen & Co, Dance Theatre Glims & Gloms and Helsinki City theatre Dance Company HDC under the direction of Kenneth Kvarnström and Jyrki Karttunen.
