Biography
Markku Lahtelan Sirkus is the product of a long-time collaboration between two minds, namely Mikko Nenonen and Tomi Pekkola. Taking their name from a Finnish postmodernist writer, and his main work from the 1970s, their aim is to attain equilibrium between experimentation and discipline. They want to avoid the dead ends of gratuitous improvisation as well as virtuoso showmanship. Their music dances the thin line between chaos and control, sound and noise, construction and destruction.
The music is almost impossible to categorize, but some comparisons to progressive/kraut rock, free jazz and even experimental electronic music in style of Pan Sonic may be done. The musicians themselves have used terms like punk-progressive rock, referring to their Do-It-Yourself attitude.
