HANNU IKOLA



Music and sound have been essential tools for me to communicate and reflect ideas, thoughts and feelings that are sometimes difficult to put into words. During the first year in Media Lab I was attracted by all the possibilities to try and learn and I slowly started to take the visual and multimedia tools alongside my music to expand the possibilities to interact and communicate. The second year I focused mainly on anything else but sound studies and slowly started to shape the idea of developing a multimedia live set. This audiovisual moment is a collage of skills, ideas and experiments from the past COVID year in Aalto. It is also a learning diary and an initial try-out for my master thesis. But for the most part it is pure flow, self expression, reflecting the world in 2021 and sending positive vibes back to all the co-students and teachers in Aalto.

The performance will be streamed via Twitch. https://www.twitch.tv/ikola_1
