As we gear up for next year’s massive project, it’s wild to think that the journey actually started 1 ½ years ago. Back then, we had a slightly awkward meeting (as these things often are), until the doors opened—and in walked the board of the Léonie Sonning Prize. They had big news: We had been selected as the recipients for 2025. Our hands started shaking! Luckily, they had a bit of champagne on hand to calm the nerves.

We rushed outside to call our families, and ever since, we’ve been hard at work preparing for what will be the biggest year of our quartet’s career.

Here’s a taste of what’s coming:

• A huge concert with the Danish National Symphony Orchestra, featuring a deeply personal piece that reflects our 23 years together as a quartet

• A folk music mini festival at Refshaleøen in the spring

• A theater production with actor Lars Mikkelsen, touring both Denmark and the US

• Collaborations with the Danish National Girls’ Choir—and so much more that we can’t even reveal it all yet!

It’s all been a whirlwind, and we’re so excited for what’s to come. We’re incredibly honored to be the first ensemble to receive the Léonie Sonning Music Prize, and we’re grateful to everyone who has been part of our journey so far. Stay tuned for more updates as we get closer to 2025—we can’t wait to share this next chapter with all of you.

For 23 years, we’ve been making music together as a quartet, sharing our sound with listeners all over the world. Now, we’re inviting you to become part of our Outer or Inner Circle—a special space where our most dedicated supporters can get closer to our creative process and exclusive content. By joining our Sleeve inner circle, you’ll receive:

• Early access to tickets and new releases

• Unreleased tracks and behind-the-scenes insights into future projects

• Invitations to members-only events

• A deeper connection to how we create the music

Your support means everything to us, and we can’t wait to share even more with you. Our Sleeve page here is your place to be part of the DSQ, experience more, and get closer to the music. We'd like to have you with us.

Hey there, this Saturday, IKI is playing in Vanløse at 2 PM, and I wanted to invite you to come along. It’ll be the five of us improvising together acousticly with our voices —just seeing where the music takes us.

We’ve been experimenting with our sound lately, and a little secret is, that we are working on a new album to be released late 2025. Somehow it’s ended up as this mix of Kraftwerk and Meredith Monk. I’m really excited about it. It’s called The Body, and still very secret, it will come out in Fall 2025, but for now, we’re just in the moment, creating something raw and live.

If you’re free, it would mean a lot to have you there. And by the way it will be very kid-friendly.

Best, Randi

IKI

I'm doing this koncert with my favorite person and artist Luna Ersahin at Vega next month, hope to see you there!

I’m up early to catch a flight to Ghent, where I’ll be participating in a panel at the World Soundtrack Awards about the legal aspects and challenges of AI and film music 🙂🎶🎶

I had the whole day here yesterday, and Gothenburg is an amazing city!! Beautiful, cozy, and great food 🙂 The company being wonderful didn’t hurt either 😉❤️

Can you believe it? In exactly three months, we’ll be filling Borgerforeningen Svendborg Teater with the music of ‘Winter Landscapes 2025.’ It’s as if the quiet calm and darkness of winter are already calling us—and this concert will be a journey into soundscapes that bring the Nordic landscape right to our ears.

I want to send a warm thank you to those of you who have already helped spread the word—you know who you are. Your support means the world. For those of you who may not have heard about the concert yet, I’d love to share a little more. I’ve attached the flyer, and here’s a link to some video and extra information so you can get a sense of what the evening will bring

Imagine the music blending with live-drawn visuals—each note reflecting the crisp air, the crunch of snow beneath your feet, and the dark sky that frames it all. It’s going to be one of those nights that stays with you long after it’s over.

I truly hope to see you in January. It would mean so much to share this experience with you.

Warmly, Jesper
