ANTTI VIRTARANTA + OLLI AARNI @ Toinen Kerros | Nokiantie 2-4, Helsinki
Thu 19.03.26 | Concert starts: 7 PM
Entry: 15/8€
This March Suhina Klubi is organizing two concerts at Toinen Kerros! In the first one, we proudly present: Antti Virtaranta + Olli Aarni
𝗔𝗻𝘁𝘁𝗶 𝗩𝗶𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗮 is a Finnish bassist and composer. He began his musical career at the age of 17, studying at the Philadelphia University of the Arts and focusing on jazz — but everything changed, after he discovered free jazz and experimental electronic music. Virtaranta moved to Berlin to join the city’s vibrant improvisation scene, developing projects with numerous musicians while shaping his own artistic voice. He is currently focused on expressing himself through both composition and improvisation, drawing on jazz, rock, and contemporary music as influences that together form his musical language.
Today, Antti’s work centers on concepts and compositions for solo bass and solo electronics, as well as the use of non-traditional notation. These ideas evolve and take shape both in smaller groups (duos and trios) and in larger ensembles, often based on spontaneous composition in collaboration with dancers and visual artists.

𝗢𝗹𝗹𝗶 𝗔𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶 (b. 1988) is an artist working with music, sound, time, space, and text. His discography consists of more than twenty albums, and his work has been published on four continents since 2009. He has performed in various European countries and in Japan. His music and sound work spans from raw field recordings to generative computer music, and from mutated pop tropes to long improvisations with acoustic instruments. He also works with installation, video art, sound poetry, and publications.
"If you've been following Aarni's solo releases, for labels like SUPERPANG, Dauw, Students of Decay, mappa and Longform Editions (among others), you'll know that it's impossible to predict what to expect next." – Boomkat review/blurb for "Dimension Scrolling" LP
