EKKI MINNA performs, curates, and collaborates. Via their multifaceted interdisciplinary approach, they discover and share genre-fluid avenues of expression and communication. Described as “self-consciously quirky” and “melt[ing] us all, via choreography, into another plain altogether”, they consciously expand the accordion & cello formation beyond instrumentation into something introspective and conscious.

Through their collaborative compositional methodology, the duo takes a hands-on approach to co-creation with composers and artists, from conception to realisation, often with a loose determination and a raw experimentalism free from boundaries. Combining mediums such as documentation, multimedia, dance, choreography and light design, they often compose interludes curating an overarching audio-visual experience. Their collaborations have included ‘a lot of Angels to Consider’ with Áslaug Magnúsdóttir premiered at Dark Music Days, Iceland; the choreographed installations A( )part & B(e)part co-composed with Magnúsdóttir; augmented performances in dialogue with Johannes Kreidler and Sarah Nemtsov; and productions of Stefan Prins’s Generation Kill alongside K!ART. 

EKKI MINNA are currently recording ‘NO MORE NO LESS’ with sound engineer Sebastian V Olsen. Alongside ‘a lot of ANGELS to consider’, the record includes electro-acoustic works by Mads Emil Dreyer and Christian Winther Christensen and works by Johannes Kreidler and Franz Schubert. (link) EKKI MINNA is currently coacting with composers Matthew Grouse and Niklas Ottander on large-scale works exploring extramusical elements and integrated multimedia. The duo will premiere their self-curated project titled ‘Augmentations’ in 2023 with works by Jeppe Just Christensen and Mads Emil Dreyer.
