"Altering the sound of the accordion and searching for new tones has been the starting point for both my compositions and playing for the past 30 years. Now I want to highlight my instrument as an increasingly electronic accordion, a machine that produces several textures at the same time. I play melody, harmony and rhythm, and control various effects and move sound around the space.

During this process, I got the idea that by playing, I could also control the visuals. The sensor on the Harmonics bellows and the instrument’s manual control both the sound as well as the images and lights. UZone is a performance that lets me explore areas that I am not familiar with", says Kimmo Pohjonen.
