Characterised by his unique projects, internationally acknowledged Mikko Innanen is taking his Nordic quartet on a record release tour in Norway and Denmark in February 2024. Autonomus is a band of four, a series of compositions and a musical philosophy all at the same time. Together with the Finnish saxophonist the group comprises Norwegian pianist Håvard Wiik, Finnish bassist Antti Lötjönen and Danish drummer Peter Bruun. Their new LP ”Hietsu” (Fiasko Records) was recorded live at Hietsu is Happening! in Helsinki in November 2021, featuring Innanen’s quartet and a classical string quartet, led by violinist Maija Linkola.
Since the release of its triple CD I-XXX (Fiasko Records 2019), Mikko Innanen Autonomus has toured in Finland, Lithuania and France. This Winter tour of five concerts is the debut of the quartet in Norway and Denmark.
