		Kimmo Pohjonen represents that rare breed of musicians who seem to be born to redefine the genres and recalibrate the metres.
		At that point Pohjonen was already thoroughly schooled in the tradition of his beloved accordion, so the upgrade to something novel and adventurous was extremely stimulating.
		And thus the Kimmo Pohjonen Kluster was born: a mini-ensemble of accordion, percussion and live electronics.

	Kimmo Pohjonen - The Official Website
		Kimmo Pohjonen and Samuli Kosminen (Kluster) and Pat Mastelotto and Trey Gunn (from King Crimson and duo TU) join forces for the double duo formation KTU (pronounced K2).
		Material is mainly comprised of compositions by Pohjonen and Kosminen, plus pieces by Gunn and Mastelotto and arrangements and improvisations by all four.
		Kimmo's work was, once again, intense and unsurpassable, using the music produced by his accordion as a hurling weapon to not underestimate, in which he was accompanied by the also intricate onslaughts of Trey Gunn on his guitar/bass, by Kosminen's maniac manipulation of the sampler, and by Mastelotto's martial beat." Publico, Miguel Francisco Cadete.

	Guardian \| Kimmo Pohjonen
		Pohjonen was simply amazing on that occasion, a solo star who hitched the accordion to state-of-the-art technology to give it a huge orchestral scope while retaining its folksy communality.
		Pohjonen began and ended rhapsodically and romantically, his thick chording and layered countermelodic playing often suggesting a delicately blown instrument.
		An abstract all-vocal episode in which Pohjonen appeared to be steadily driven nuts by buzzing insects inside his head was positively spine-chilling.

		Kimmo Pohjonen is one of the cutting-edge accordion virtuosi and composers of our time.
		For his first solo-concert Pohjonen tried to reveal the enormous sound spectra of his instrument that seemed to be hidden behind fixed structures and folk music.
		In addition to the Pohjonen accordion and voice sounds that Kosminen samples in "normal" Kluster repertoire and reproduces via his electronic drum pads, the Kronos string sounds are sampled, processed, and looped in with the Kluster mix and the natural Kronos strings to achieve something new and never before heard.

		Kimmo Pohjonen is one of Europe's most compelling live performers and true musical innovatiors.
		This tour brings together Kimmo's most spectacular projects - his mesmerising solo performance; Kluster, his duo with sampling and percussion whizz Samuli Kosminen, recently seen at David Bowie's Meltdown; and Kalmuk, a ground-breaking orchestral work.
		Kalmuk unites Kimmo's revolutionary sound world with Finland's most adventurous orchestra, the Tapiola Sinfonietta, percussionists Samuli Kosminen and Abdissa "Mamba" Assefa, and surround sound for a voyage into a orchestral sound of the 21st century.

	FolkWorld Live Review: Mats Eden, Kimmo Pohjonen
		Kimmo Pohjonen played in the attractive venue "Nalen" in Stockholm, a ballroom from well 100 years ago that is freshly renovated and offers now a programme with both concerts and dances (and also dance evenings for youths actually).
		The performance itself is very special: there is a lot of mimic in Kimmos face; and at times he runs with his accordeon over the stage, or in the end he hides behind the accordeon.
		Kimmo is by the way preparing currently another project, where he plays together with a chamber orchestra and a few percussionists, then also re-playing the same music.

		Finnish accordionists Kimmo Pohjonen and Samuli Kosminen (Kluster) join Pat Mastelotto and Trey Gunn (percussion and guitar from King Crimson and duo TU) for a round of agressive, loud and utterly unclassfiable new music.
		Kimmo Pohjonen (accordion)/ Eric Echampard (drums) joined forces in 2001 with the goal to make totally improvised music, live on stage with no rehearsals.
		Arto Jarvela and Kimmo Pohjonen offer a curious series of duets that are at once folky and bizarre, for accordion, harmonica, fiddle, mandolin, nyckleharpa, voices and various unexpected instruments.

	Guardian \| Kimmo Pohjonen
		The audience spent half of Kimmo Pohjonen's single-set gig poleaxed and the other half in raptures.
		The impact of Pohjonen's solo show was substantially reinforced by lighting effects, the wild, churning music sometimes coming at you out of pitch darkness, sometimes from a glimpsed figure bathed in blue light or set against back-projected images of starscapes or earthrises.
		Pohjonen bugs an orthodox accordion with pickups and pedals, beats it to make conga-drum sounds, or mimics the noise of avalanches of pebbles with his nails on the buttons.

		Pohjonen's leap from the acoustic approach so prevalent in folk music to his now-trade mark futuristic frenzy of moulding aural reality in surreal and unexpected ways happened in 1995.
		Such was the impact of the Kimmo Pohjonen experience that the man soon found himself partaking in free-form duet sessions with trombone master Markku Veijonsuo, touring and recording with one of the leading Finnish rock tunesmiths Ismo Alanko, and all the while perfecting his own solo appearances.
		The very first years of the 21st century have already proven that Pohjonen's star is definitely on the rise both in and outside of the Finnish borders.

		Well, Kimmo Pohjonen has dragged it from the attic, dusted it off, hooked it up to a Fender tube amp and proceeded to pull, push, pound, scrape and bend every note conceivable from it.
		Pohjonen describes his performances as being “like one painting with many colors.” Extending his statement, it explains why their arrangments on Kluster often follow the same pattern.
		Pohjonen adds a pulsating riff which is soon joined by a sweeping gesture from the bellows.

		Kluster is Kimmo Pohjonen's latest new project, an expansion of his solo show featuring sampler and percussion whiz Samuli Kosminen who also works with Pohjonen in the Kalmuk project.
		On stage, Samuli makes live samples of Kimmo's accordion and voice, reproduces them percussively via his electronic drum pads, and mixes it all together with Kimmo's accordion, voice and live FX to create a brain bursting maelstrom of "multi-dimensional" quadraphonic accordion sound unlike anything done before.

		From the first note of of Kielo, Kimmo Pohjonen shows himself to be a master of the slow, inexorable build, the hypnotic climax.
		Kimmo Pohjonen is evidently not interested in making things easy for his listeners, and why should he?
		When he finally plays a pretty tune, though, it's very pretty; the title track (8), for example, is exquisite, lovely, full of joy.

		As a teenager, Pohjonen studied at the Helsinki Conservatory and later at the famous Sibelius Academy.
		More recently, Pohjonen has fused the swirling, cosmic darkness of Kluster with the work of two equally adventurous musicians, former King Crimson members Trey Gunn and Pat Matelotoo, who came together in 2004 to form the experimental combo TU.
		With Pohjonen on accordion and voice, Samuli on samples, Trey on Warr guitar and Pat on âtraps and buttons,â the resultant project, named KTU (pronounced K2), is texturally dense and strong on improvisation.

	Kimmo Pohjonen: Finnish experiments for the accordion
		Like Maria Kalaniemi, Kimmo Pohjonen plays 5-row chromatic accordion, and though he's part of the same musical milieu as Kalaniemi, his path through it has both paralleled and diverged from hers.
		He and Arto Järvelä are the droll song and tune duo Pinnin Pojat, and he was a member of the now quiescent Ottopasuuna, which latterly comprised Pohjonen, Petri Hakala, percussionist Kristiina Ilmonen and Värttinä's Kari Reiman and Janne Lappalainen.
		Pohjonen wrestles with the accordion as if it were an alligator, generating waves of rolling, swelling, wheezing, clattering live-sampled sound, building to a churning climax in which the music becomes almost detached from the man and his instrument.

	BBC - World Review - Kimmo Pohjonen, Kalmuk
		But at the heart, at the very foundation of a Kimmo Pohjonen concert with all its electronic wizadry and brilliantly designed lighting, is Kimmo's blazing passion for music itself.
		I was there, at the city's Savoy Theatre, to witness Kimmo, two rock percussionists and fifteen members of one of Finland's top orchestras, the Tapiola Sinfonietta, take us by storm.
		Kimmo embarked on a project which would force them to throw away the stands, the chairs, to move and to improvise.

		Kimmo Pohjonen's way of playing the accordion has often been compared to the guitar playing of Jimi Hendrix.
		The concerts are integrated performances where Pohjonen moves around in an almost acrobatic manner.
		Pohjonen is one of the most respected Finnish musicians worldwide.

		'Kalmuk' is an extended work composed by Kimmo, conceived with the goal of stretching the possibilities and capabilities of classical orchestral music and players and to find new sounds and ways of playing.
		Contrary to the usual practice of orchestras, no notes are used on stage, giving players greater freedom and flexibility to find new ways of playing and expressing.
