Relay
Key figures of experimental and electronic music on stage in an event examining time, change and permanence.
Relay 22.3.2026 seeks to position itself in front of the fundamentals of life, the things that stay present and remain the same in the middle of a changing world. An experimental music concert unifying the forward thinking musicians of today.
Christian Fennesz (AT)
Austrian virtuoso-guitarist Christian Fennesz is one of the central figures of experimental electronic music. Renowned for merging abundant guitar sound, melodic sensitivity, and daring compositions in collaboration with other artists, such as the likes of Ryuichi Sakamoto. His albums Venice, Endless Summer and Cendre are landmark works in modern ambient music.
Maria W Horn (SE)
Swedish composer Maria W. Horn explores the spectral qualities of sound and the perception of space in her compositions. Her work combines analog synthesis, choral textures, and elements of chamber music. She is also the co-founder of the record label XKatedral, established together with Kali Malone.
Rainy Miller (UK)
British Rainy Miller is a multi-disciplinary musician and producer that fuses experimental music with classical elements and pop-music aesthetics in his work. Miller is the founder of the record label Fixed Abode, and is known for his emotionally charged and physically intensive live performances.
exmantera (FI)
Helsinki-based exmantera works with experimental sound design and electronic music. Her practice centers on deconstruction and rebuilding of sonic worlds, creating immersive and textural compositions. Some of her recent collaborations include works with Acne Studios and Björk.
