IKONOSTASIS is a series of Kari Ikonen’s musical images – both composed and improvised – to be performed either solo, or together with some of his favourite musicians.

 

 

 

The new album on the same name includes duets with French clarinetist Louis Sclavis, and a trio with legendary American drummer Ra-Kalam Bob Moses and Norwegian trumpeter Mathias Eick.

”Extended, open-ended musical conversation.” (****) -John Ephland, DownBeat (USA)
”Wunderschöne, manchmal auch abenteuerlich spacige Kammermusik” -JazzThing (DE)

“Platten wie lkonostasis sind selten geworden.” -Jazzthetik (DE)

“Wunderbar meditative Stimmungen schaft und dabei immer wieder einen rhythmisch groovenden Flow entwickelt. Eine Musik ohne Haltbarkeitsbegrenzung.” -Fidelity (DE)

For live performances there are many possible line-ups, for example the following:

Louis-Kari

Kari Ikonen & Louis Sclavis (FIN/FRA)

Kari Ikonen – Moog synthesizer
