Laura Mehmeti
Laura Mehmeti is a Swiss artist, improviser and accordionist. A graduate of the Hochschule Luzern in the class of Anne-Maria Hölscher, she continues her studies at the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki in the class of Veli Kujala.
This concert explores the fragile and intimate relation between the voice and the instrument, how they merge, imitate, and extend one another. The performer is not only an instrumentalist but a whole body in motion, where gesture, breath, and sound become inseparable. The audience is invited to take part in this shared space of listening, where perception and emotion are continuously shifting. Through the works of Bauckholt, Saunders and Rønsholdt, music becomes more than sound: it becomes a living act of communication, a moment of presence between bodies, voices, and silence.
Carola Bauckholt: Die Alte (2001)
Rebecca Saunders: Flesh (2018)
Niels Rønsholdt: Until nothing left (2017)
Zeynep Toraman
Composer-researcher Zeynep Toraman performing excerpts from her upcoming solo album Afterimages, an eclectic take on electroacoustic music in song form. The set brings together voice, synthesizers, electric guitar, strings and field recordings, creating textured and immersive soundscapes of resonance and memory, exploring the afterimage as a perceptual residue. Toraman is a composer and scholar from Istanbul, Turkey, living and working in Berlin.
Suhina Klubi serves as a platform for improvised and experimental music and sound art within Helsinki. During the year 2025 we present improvised music ensembles from Finland and abroad.
In the fourth edition of Suhina Klubi for the fall 2025, we are present Brad Henkel & Jukka Kääriäinen
Brad Henkel is an American trumpeter and composer currently living in Berlin, Germany.

He creates and performs music based on a blend of jazz, contemporary music, and Echtzeitmusik traditions. He is a member of the KIM collective.
Jukka Kääriäinen is a musician focused on experimental music. Depending on the situation, Jukka’s instruments include a prepared acoustic guitar or an electric guitar with a backpack full of effects. Kääriäinen has performed in many European countries and at international festivals in the United Kingdom, Spain, and France. In addition to solo concerts, he regularly performs in ensembles and has collaborated with musicians such as Teppo Hauta-Aho, Kalle Kalima, Harri Sjöström, Axel Dörner, Kriton Beyer, Rieko Okuda, Anil Eraslan, Mikko Innanen, and Joel Grip.

BIOS
Libero Mureddu is an Italian-Finnish pianist, improviser, composer, and researcher based in Helsinki. Active in the Finnish and European improvised music scene, he currently leads the ‘murmur trio’ with bassist Andrea Grossi and drummer Cristiano Calcagnile. In his research projects he combines improvisation, composition, digital audiovisual projections, and algorithmic scores to create unpredictable performative scenarios. He teaches free and electroacoustic improvisation at the Sibelius Academy.
Eevi Oittinen is a visual artist fascinated by the interaction of the visual and the sonic arts. Her work includes traditional painting in mixed media as well as interdisciplinary collaborations that bring together painting and contemporary music. With an analogue overhead projector, Oittinen’s drawing becomes a (mute) musical instrument. In direct dialogue with improvised music, free from the hierarchy of one illustrating the other, focus is on presence and communication.

Anni Elif Egecioglu is a Swedish-Finnish vocalist, cellist, and composer known for her genre-defying artistry. She blends vulnerability with mastery, moving between experimental, improvised, and contemporary classical music.

She regularly performs with Elifantree, the Anni Elif Ensemble, and in duo with pianist Seppo Kantonen.
Set 2:
Kinzelman/Costanzo – Infinite Ramp (cassette release)
Sonic investigations undertaken at dynamic extremes (ppp-fff), exploring obsessive repetition and the collapse of iterative processes. Difficulties in the cohabitation of contrasting visions which nonetheless prove compatible. Catharsis, mutual rescue and unpredictable moments of introspection. Of arbitrary duration.
Dan Kinzelman – winds, feedback
Stefano Costanzo – drums, feedback

“A shed is a place where rarely used objects get stored and eventually forgotten. However the objects in a shed hold enough importance to keep, as there might be memories connected to them. It’s a place for semi-useful objects, too useful to get rid of, but unnecessary in daily life. What can these objects tell us, what kind of life have they had?”
An evening of performances and films, presented inside an actual shed!

Kaleva – A journey into the folklore of the Baltic Sea through improvised music and movement
Kaleva is a performance inspired by Finno-Ugric folklore. The performance awakens ancient symbols through sound and movement, offering the audience a timeless journey into the heritage of the Baltic Sea region. The performance intertwines peoples and traditions – Estonian and Finnish cultural roots find common ground and artistic expression together with artists from Japan and South Korea.
Matka Itämeren kansanperinteeseen improvisoidun musiikin ja liikkeen kautta.
Kaleva on musiikillinen esitys, joka ammentaa inspiraationsa suomalais-ugrilaisesta kansanperinteestä. Esitys herättää muinaiset symbolit eloon musiikin ja liikkeen kautta ja tarjoaa yleisölle ajattoman matkan Itämeren alueen kansanperinteeseen. Esityksessä kansat ja perinteet kietoutuvat yhteen – virolaiset ja suomalaiset kulttuurijuuret löytävät yhteisen perustan ja taiteellisen ilmaisun yhdessä japanilaisten ja eteläkorealaisten taiteilijoiden kanssa.
