1.8.2026
The duo formed by Kokkola-based musicians and spouses, guitarist Martin Söderbacka and bassist Eevalotta Matikainen, performs nuanced, lyrical, atmospheric, and deeply moment-to-moment music. Their compositions resonate with the mood of Nordic landscapes while drawing on the harmonies and rhythms of the American jazz tradition. The pair often make use of effects pedals and the wide tonal range of their instruments to create a uniquely rich and distinctive duo sound.
