06.02.2027 Koncert: MATS GUSTAFSSON & KIMMO POHJONEN
Kazalište Gandusio
Subota, 6. veljače 2027.
U 20 sati
Mats Gustafsson i Kimmo Pohjonen, dva nordijska vuka koji su još donedavno usamljeno kročili različitim glazbenim stazama jazza, folka, punka i elektronike, nastupit će u rovinjskom Kazalištu „Gandusio“ 6. veljače 2027., kao duo koji i u našoj publici traži čopor istomišljenika spremnih na neponovljivi glazbeni izazov.
Ovaj jedinstveni glazbeni duo spoj je dvaju talenata koji osjećaju da stvaranje glazbe može biti divna životna avantura kako u studiju, tako i na pozornici, na kojoj svaki njihov koncert postaje neponovljivo iskustvo. Mats i Kimmo jednostavno ne mogu ponoviti svoj nastup i servirati publici već viđeno, jer njihovo putovanje žanrovima, pokretano strašću prema eksperimentu i improvizaciji, svaki put gradi novu i jedinstvenu glazbeno-vizualnu kulisu u kojoj ova dva karizmatična glazbenika „prže“ od početka do kraja koncerta.

Mats Gustafsson istaknuti je švedski saksofonist, skladatelj i improvizator te jedna od ključnih figura suvremene europske free jazz i avangardne glazbene scene. Poznat po svom eksplozivnom, robusnom zvuku i beskompromisnom pristupu instrumentu, Gustafsson uspješno spaja sirovu snagu punk rocka sa slobodom improvizirane glazbe. Stil mu odlikuje korištenje proširenih tehnika sviranja, u rasponu od jedva čujnih šapata i delikatnih višeglasja do snažnih zvučnih tekstura. Osim tradicionalnih puhačkih instrumenata, svira i elektroniku te vlastiti hibridni izum zvan fluteophone, kombinaciju saksofona i flaute. Tijekom karijere duge više od četiri desetljeća osnovao je i vodio neke od najutjecajnijih suvremenih jazz sastava te surađivao s nizom ikona eksperimentalne glazbe. Među njima se ističu The Thing, izuzetno utjecajan i energičan trio (uz Paala Nilssen-Lovea i Ingebrigta Håkera Flatena), poznat po spajanju free jazza s obradama rock, punk i noise izvođača te Fire! & Fire! Orchestra, projekti koji spajaju elemente psihodeličnog rocka, jazza i noisea. Značajne su i njegove suradnje s izvođačima kao što su Peter Brötzmann, Thurston Moore, Sonic Youth, Merzbow, Ken Vandermark, Barry Guy i Jim O'Rourke.
Kimmo Pohjonen finski je glazbenik i skladatelj poznat po redefiniranju zvuka tradicionalne harmonike. Svojim eksperimentalnim pristupom stvara jedinstvene zvučne kulise koje spajaju finski folklor, rock, elektroničku i suvremenu klasičnu glazbu. Nastupi su mu prepoznatljivi širom svijeta po iznimnoj energiji, gotovo atletskoj izvedbi te impresivnim vizualnim i multimedijskim efektima. Pohjonen koristi harmoniku kao generator sirovog zvuka, manipulirajući njome pomoću efekata, petlji (loops) i digitalnih kašnjenja kako bi postigao zvukove nalik orkestru ili industrijskoj mašineriji. Njegovi najznačajniji projekti i suradnje uključuju KTU, progresivni art-rock trio u kojem svira uz slavne glazbenike Pata Mastelotta i Treya Gunna, bivše članove kultnog sastava King Crimson, kao i Uniko, veliki projekt ostvaren u suradnji sa slavnim gudačima iz Kronos Quartet i samplerom Samulijem Kosminenom. O njegovu je životu, umjetničkoj viziji i jedinstvenom pristupu glazbi snimljen hvaljeni dokumentarni film Soundbreaker (2012).
Koncert je dio promotivne turneje novog albuma Two Balls Are Enough.

Concert: MATS GUSTAFSSON & KIMMO POHJONEN
Gandusio Theatre
Saturday, February 6, 2027
8:00 PM
Mats Gustafsson and Kimmo Pohjonen—two "Nordic wolves" who, until recently, walked different paths across the musical landscapes of jazz, folk, punk, and electronic music—will perform at the Gandusio Theatre in Rovinj on February 6, 2027. Appearing as a duo, they seek to find a "pack" of like-minded souls among the audience, ready to embrace a truly unique musical challenge.
This singular duo brings together two talents who view the creation of music as a magnificent life adventure—whether in the studio or on stage, where every performance becomes a unique experience. Mats and Kimmo are incapable of simply repeating a past show or serving up something the audience has already seen; their journey through various genres, fueled by a passion for experimentation and improvisation, constructs a fresh, unique musical and visual backdrop each time. Throughout the concert, these two charismatic musicians play with intense, fiery energy from start to finish.
Mats Gustafsson is a prominent Swedish saxophonist, composer, and improviser, and a key figure in the contemporary European free jazz and avant-garde music scene. Known for his explosive, robust sound and uncompromising approach to his instrument, Gustafsson successfully blends the raw power of punk rock with the freedom of improvised music. His style is characterized by the use of extended playing techniques, ranging from barely audible whispers and delicate polyphony to powerful sonic textures. In addition to traditional wind instruments, he also works with electronics and a hybrid instrument of his own invention called the "fluteophone"—a combination of a saxophone and a flute. Over a career spanning more than four decades, he has founded and led some of the most influential contemporary jazz ensembles and collaborated with a host of icons from the experimental music world. Notable examples include The Thing—an exceptionally influential and energetic trio (alongside Paal Nilssen-Love and Ingebrigt Håker Flaten) known for fusing free jazz with covers of rock, punk, and noise artists—as well as Fire! & Fire! Orchestra, projects that combine elements of psychedelic rock, jazz, and noise. Also significant are his collaborations with artists such as Peter Brötzmann, Thurston Moore, Sonic Youth, Merzbow, Ken Vandermark, Barry Guy, and Jim O'Rourke.
Kimmo Pohjonen is a Finnish musician and composer known for redefining the sound of the traditional accordion. With his experimental approach, he creates unique soundscapes that combine Finnish folklore, rock, electronic and contemporary classical music. His performances are recognized around the world for their exceptional energy, almost athletic performance and impressive visual and multimedia effects. Pohjonen uses the harmonica as a raw sound generator, manipulating it with effects, loops and digital delays to achieve sounds similar to an orchestra or industrial machinery. His most significant projects and collaborations include KTU, a progressive art-rock trio in which he plays with famous musicians Pat Mastelotto and Trey Gunn, former members of the cult band King Crimson, as well as Uniko, a large project realized in collaboration with famous string players from the Kronos Quartet and sampler Samuli Kosminen. The acclaimed documentary Soundbreaker (2012) was made about his life, artistic vision and unique approach to music.
The concert is part of the promotional tour for the new album Two Balls Are Enough.
