Hyperlocal North: Keiska (FI), Moonilena (SE), Hekla (IS) I UpNode

Up Node presents: Hyperlocal North at Inkonst 20:00-23:30 (on stage 20:30) 18+ (or less with legal guardian) 125/160:- On May 23rd, Hyperlocal North arrives at Inkonst with a lineup of Nordic experimental artists pushing new sonic boundaries. This showcase is part of a three-city journey, with performances in Malmö (Inkonst), Copenhagen (Alice), and Bergen (Östre), connecting innovative artists with adventurous listeners. At Inkonst, we’re excited to present: Keiska (IS) A rare specialist of the theremin, a notoriously difficult instrument to master. Her playing moves between fragile, birdlike trills and deep, seismic drones, creating a sound that is both otherworldly and visceral. With a background in classical music, she has crafted a singular sonic identity, earning admiration from artists like PJ Harvey. Fans of Colleen, Julia Holter, or Jóhann Jóhannsson will find themselves drawn into her mesmerizing, spectral world. hekla.bandcamp.com/album/turnar Moonilena (SE) The sonic alias of Stockholm-based composer, DJ, and musician Marlena Salonen. Known for her immersive electronic soundscapes, she seamlessly moves between experimental club music and audiovisual installations. Alongside solo releases—including the 2021 EP Tiny Portals—she co-runs the label Moloton and has contributed to compilations for Studio Barnhus, Fasaan Rec, and Studio 94. Her upcoming debut LP, Minnet, expands on the immersive, abstract electronics she developed for a performance in the abandoned Mimerlaven mine. moloton.bandcamp.com/album/minnet Hekla (FI) The alias of Finnish artist Alsa Ojala, who has spent over a decade crafting a sound that merges experimental music with offbeat pop sensibilities. Her work, featured on DummyMag, Creamcake, and NTS Radio, thrives on contrast—between the mundane and the surreal, the structured and the unpredictable. Live, Keiska embraces spontaneity, creating performances that go beyond the screen. Oh, and she once made a mash-up of Vivaldi and Pitbull so fire that Arca played it at Primavera Festival. Yes, you can find the video on YouTube. keiska.bandcamp.com Hyperlocal North is made possible through Up Node, a collaboration between Norbergfestival, Intonal, Alter, Proton Records, Ekko, Insomnia, Drifts, Extreme Chill, and is supported by the Nordic Culture Fund.
