Kimmo Pohjonen is an accordionist and a composer known as a reformer in his chosen field of art.

The works of Pohjonen frequently combine the soundscapes of his customised, electro-acoustic instrument with strong visuality. He is one of the few artists who have managed to create a genre of their own through their compositions and unique projects.

Pohjonen’s way of playing and producing new sounds out of an accordion can be described as quite exceptional, even on a global level. His performances have been described as revolutionary, and he has enchanted both the audience and the critics with the uncompromising intensity and uniqueness of his music.

He is regularly performing in his own projects at notable festivals of world music, jazz, electronic music and art music all across the world.
