Mika Akim; bratschist og sangskriver Mika Persdotter bevæger sig inden for både kontemporær kompositionsmusik, den eksperimenterende scene, barokmusik og sangskrivning. Under palindromet Mika Akim har hun skabt et univers, hvor viola d'amore - et strygeinstrument, der primært forbindes med Barokmusik - går hånd i hånd med hendes vokal i minimalistiske sange med en stor kærlighed til instrumentet, kroppen, stemmen, smukke og mærkelige lyde. Teksterne er på svensk og engelsk. Musikken er cirkulær, poetisk med en gennemtrængende folk-pop lyd og er blevet sammenlignet med sangskrivere som Joni Mitchell, Sam Amidon og José Gonzalez.
Mika Akim har tidligere udgivet to album; Till Kroppen (2020), Tillsammans (2022) og spillet koncerter i Danmark, Sverige, Tjekkiet, Frankrig, Tyskland, Japan, USA og Chile.

Egil Kalman; spelar Norsk och Svensk folkmusik på modulärsynth. Hans musik drar paraller mellan folkmusik och samtida elektroakistisk musik via minimalistiska kompositionstekniker och själfulla improvisationer. Med renstämda intervall, hypnotiska former, synthetiskt ljud som immiterar det akustiska och omvänt, utforskar han element från folkmusiken och sätter de i ett nytt ljus. Musiken framförs live på modulärsynth utan användning av förinspelat material.
Hans albumdebut som folkmusiksynthesist 'Nordafjells', där fokuset ligger på låtar från den starka Setesdalstraditionen, gavss ut på Supertraditional (Sara Parkman, Valkyrien Allstars etc.) i November 2025. Sen tidigare har han två album ute på iDeal Recordings.

Mika Akim releases her third album "Feb 28" and celebrates the music by playing live for the first time in a new trio constellation together with Tove Bagge and Tomás Gubbins. Egil Kalman, who in November released his debut album "Nordafjells", Norwegian and Swedish folk music on modular synth, shares the evening and plays a solo set.
Mika Akim; viola player and songwriter Mika Persdotter moves within both contemporary composition music, the experimental scene, baroque music and songwriting. Under the palindrome Mika Akim, she has created a universe where the viola d'amore - a string instrument primarily associated with Baroque music - goes hand in hand with her vocals in minimalist songs with a great love for the instrument, the body, the voice, beautiful and strange sounds. The texts are in Swedish and English. The music is circular, poetic with a piercing folk-pop sound and has been compared to songwriters such as Joni Mitchell, Sam Amidon and José Gonzalez.
Mika Akim has previously released two albums; Till Kroppen (2020), Tillsammans (2022) and played concerts in Denmark, Sweden, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Japan, USA and Chile.

Egil Kalman; plays Norwegian and Swedish folk music on modular synth. His music draws parallels between folk music and contemporary electroacoustic music via minimalistic composition techniques and soulful improvisations. With clean-tuned intervals, hypnotic forms, synthetic sound that imitates the acoustic and vice versa, he explores elements from folk music and sets them in a new light. The music is performed live on a modular synth without the use of pre-recorded material.
His debut album as a folk music synthesist 'Nordafjells', where the focus is on songs from the strong Setesdal tradition, was released on Supertraditional (Sara Parkman, Valkyrien Allstars etc.) in November 2025. He previously had two albums out on iDeal Recordings.
