At Radiophrenia, Ahti & Ahti will give a live-to-air performance of their new piece Tidal Broom, developed in residence at the solitary Örö Island, a former military base off the Finnish west coast. Work on the island included acoustic explorations, opening up to the materiality of sound in the continuous movement of natural life, tracing sand patterns and mind patterns, exploring the architectural sonic particularities of bunkers and caves. The performance brings together gathered sounds, sounding materials and traces of processes unseen but felt.
Ahti & Ahti is a duo comprising Finnish sound artists Marja Ahti (b. 1981, Luleå) and Niko-Matti Ahti (b. 1976, Ulvila), working in composition and performance. Their material often consists of recordings of everyday spaces and events, simple instrumentation, amplified everyday objects and electronic sound sources. They currently live in Turku where they are also organizing events.
