NEKO3 | Sottosuolo Festival

New commission for Mattia Parisse

NEKO3 is a fluid experimental‑music ensemble based in Copenhagen, led by multi‑instrumentalists and performers Lorenzo Colombo and Kalle Hakosalo. Rather than functioning as a fixed group, NEKO3 operates as a flexible constellation: it expands and transforms by inviting artists and collaborators from any discipline or genre, creating new performance formats through an open and inclusive artistic exchange. The ensemble works through a total and unrestricted artistic practice, without adhering to a single aesthetic, genre, or art form. Starting from sound, image, performance, and technology, each medium holds equal dignity, forming a vocabulary that embraces any expressive mode required by each project.

Since 2017, NEKO3 has performed at festivals such as Festival Internacional de la Imagen (Bogotá, CO), SONICA Glasgow (GB), cresc… Biennale (DE), Time Of Music (FI), Rondò (IT), MINU Festival (DK), Dark Music Days (IS), PlayTime Festival (CH), Sonica Istanbul (TR), Kammer Klang (UK), Copenhagen Light Festival (DK), Ultima Festival (NO), Klang Festival (DK), Unerhörte Musik (DE), GAS Festival (SE), MONOM’s Spatial Festival (DE), Sound of Stockholm (SE), Internationales Digikunst Festival (DE), and Spor Festival (DK). They have also appeared as soloists with the Danish National Symphony Orchestra and the Aarhus Sinfonietta.
