So, two years have passed, and it's already time for my graduation concert at RMC.
Under the title *Metamorfosis*, I explore transformations of sound.
The concert features music composed for three (homemade) modular synthesizers as well as 8 Hexaphones.
It takes place this Tuesday, June 24th at 4:00 PM in "Akvariet" at RMC. Come join us!
A huge thank you to Christian Zemp and Lauge Heebøll for being part of the Modular trio, and to all the musicians in the Hexaphon ensemble. It has been a great pleasure to work with so many inspiring people and to try out lots of ideas.
Some of the key questions in working on this concert have been: What kind of music is embedded in a given instrument, and how can I create an instrument that contains the music I want to make?
The two years have flown by—I feel like my studies have only just begun... Now, back to the lifelong self-study.

Build your own synthesizer workshop
25-05-2025, 13:00-17:00
Lundtoftegade 93, 2200 KBH N
During the workshop which is a collaboration between Ekkoflok, CPH Music Maker Space and Lunden you can build your very own little synthesizer.
The workshop will start in the afternoon (13:00-17:00) and will be held in the outdoor area in front of Lunden.
This day we’ll build the Oscitrode synthesizer, a simple but very fun noise generator, controlled by the conductivity of your skin. The synthesizer is designed by Ekkoflok and is an ideal starting point for getting into (sound) electronics and synthesizer DIY.
In the end, we’ll do a little performance with our new instruments.
You’ll be guided and assisted while assembling it. All the necessary equipment and tools will be there, just bring your excitement
Limited seats available, so please reserve a spot here, if you want to join.

https://www.48timerfestival.dk/program/
I/O Presents:
The release of Ekkoflok's third full length album, MOSAIK.
An album that Ekkoflok himself describes as "a sonic mosaic of sound in sustained time".
Contrary to his previous album Lydlandskaber (2017), which was made entirely of one-takes, MOSAIK is made from many layers of sound from various sources including his homebuilt analogue modular synthesizer, prepared instruments, vocal and field recordings.
Listen at: https://ekkoflok.bandcamp.com
Join us for celebrating the release and enjoy a night in the name of sound exploration.
Music from 19:00 - the bar is open from 17:00, so come early and grab a beer (and a record ;-))
Line up:
AK89
A-Kura
Ekkoflok
Accompanied by stunning laser-visuals by Svend Sømod
Also, RAND has produced a visual side for Bo_Ohm that will be screened before the live music.
I/O aims to bring together a community of modular-enthusiast musicians, and give them the possibility to both meet, share and perform.
We organize concerts in Denmark which may host hybrid performances blending instruments, visuals or other performing arts, yet always featuring a modular instrument on stage. I/O intend to open spaces for sonic experimentation, immersive listening, and adventurous soundscape exploration.
We hope these happenings may provoke and inspire diverse forms of both artistic and human encounters.
We welcome any one of you, input-output freaks, or patching-virgins to join this adventure.
Event is free.
We hope to see you there
