Almost certainly America's most daring string ensemble, Kronos Quartet has been revealing new and updated visions for close to 40 years, exploiting the possibilities of the strictly classical genre of the string quartet to their fullest extent. UNIKO is an undertaking that features two further extraordinary artists in Kimmo Pohjonen, the pioneering accordion player and energy manipulator from Finland, and his compatriot and regular partner Samuli Kosminen, a renowned master of percussion and ele...ctronic instruments. The result, as the title of the experiment suggests, is an exciting cavalcade of harmony the like of which has never been heard – where the astounding colour of acoustic harmonies mix with electronically processed sounds, tones and rhythms. As a New York Times critic wrote: “Uniko is like an ocean tide coming in. Big waves of sound build in complexity, animation and sometimes sheer frenzy, then abruptly retreat into small lyrical moments, amplified pizzicatos or buzzings by some huge and imaginary insect.” In addition to harnessing their acoustic abilities, UNIKO also makes heavy use of light effects and live video mixing. Put together, these elements produce a multi-dimensional sound and light experience that transports the listener to a fantasy realm without limitations.
