If you’re curious about how I work — my methods, my process, the way pieces move from voice to electronics and back again — I recently spoke about all of it in this podcast. It’s a good place to start:
Over the past few weeks, a lot has come into the world at once.
We’ve just released IKI’s new album Body. It moves between the acoustic and the electronic — sometimes beginning as a simple melody, other times as a texture that grows into something more physical. Playing the release concerts at Momentum and Christianshavns Beboerhuset was incredible. We performed in a black box with new visuals, new outfits, new masks.
ALBUM, LP - THE BODY : https://ikivocal.bandcamp.com/album/body
Live, the electronic parts transform completely. Sometimes we imitate the electronics acoustically, letting the two layers melt into each other. I’ve always loved when the album and the concert aren’t the same creature. On stage, we also lean into some very tight melodic structures — “hockey style,” where we each sing one tone at a time, and the melody only exists because all of us are present inside it.
Two tracks have already been played on BBC, and we received a beautiful review from Westzeit (DE): ★★★★★
With their impressive voices, the women of IKI conjure a beauty that is as magical as it is surreal over the electronic foundations of Body (Tila). From pulsing loops to transcendent whisper (‘Run’), to radiant female choirs over unintelligible yet beautiful vocal smears (‘Remember’), this is the finest a cappella art, sometimes with accompaniment and sometimes without (for example in the particularly lovely short ‘Circuit’ pieces).
I also released a wonderful album with Christian Rønn called Shadow Moves in October. We had a great release concert where friends, family and collegues came- thank you all for coming. Shadow Moves consist of my voice, live electronics and Christian on prepared grand piano. This is our second collaborative album - following the critical acclaim debut Head ̈Space, on Chant Records. We continue to develop a shared sonic language rooted in improvisation and exploration. Shadow Moves is a journey into new musical terrain, where extended vocal techniques, prepared grand piano, and distinctive use of live electronics merge into a singular, organic whole. The music oscillates between lush acoustic textures and raw, abstract soundscapes.

What’s next
I’m now preparing to open an exhibition at Bornholms Kunstmuseum.
On the opening day there will be performances, and I’m creating the music inside a work by the artist Anders Herwald Ruhwald. His piece is called Den trætte sol (“The Tired Sun”), so my work is titled Behind the Sun. I’ll perform it with saxophonist Thomas Agergaard.
https://bornholms-kunstmuseum.dk/kalender/engangsarrangementer/%C3%A5bningsfest-anders-herwald-ruhwald/
And later this month, on November 24, I’ll be working with Linda Edsjö (SV) in the countryside of Paris. We are composing and developing together with Ingvild Rømo Grande (scenographer, NO) a concert/performance called Jeans in and hour — Ingvild will sew a pair of jeans in exactly one hour while we perform.
A recommendation
If you’re interested in new, experimental music — and appreciate curation from actual humans — I highly recommend this concert calendar:

Jeg har glædet mig så meget til at dele næste live video fra min koncert sammen med Louise Schrøder og Admeta Strings, som vi spillede i musikhusets lille sal i Aarhus i foråret. Jeg kommer til at udgive yderligere 2 numre og videoer fra koncerten, og samtidig kommer alle numrene ud på streaming som en samlet EP.
'Close' blev oprindeligt udgivet på mit debutalbum Solid | Soft (2023), men får her nyt liv i en version, hvor sårbarheden i sangen træder endnu tydeligere frem. Det er et nummer der handler om at trække en grænse i en usund relation og kalde usandheder ud med styrke og sårbarhed på én gang. Den handler også om at gennemskue, hvad der skjuler sig bag et glansbillede og tage magten tilbage, før man selv bliver opslugt af andres fortælling. Jeg ville skrive en sang, der føles som øjeblikket, hvor man endelig ser klart – hvor man tør sige ‘det er dig, ikke mig’. ‘Close’ er altså en bevægelse fra at holde fast til at give slip – både musikalsk og menneskeligt.
Jeg glæder mig meget til at høre hvad I synes om sangen i denne her live version!!

Jeg sidder på færgen med retning mod Rønne, Bornholm - et af de steder, der for mit vedkommende altid indbyder til fordybelse, kreativitet og nærvær med natur og familie ⛴️
.. og med kaffe, en god bog og noget i hænderne, er selve turen til og fra øen blevet til et dejligt ritual, hvor hovedet lige bliver ajour med kroppen i udsigten til nogle dage, hvor jeg er frakoblet hverdagens trummerum.
I dag har jeg også noget i ørerne - nemlig en playliste fuld af sange, som jeg har samlet som inspiration til mit arbejde med det album, der er undervejs. Og I skal selvfølgelig have lov at lytte med! 🎧❤️
Tag et lyt. Hvilken stemning kommer du i? ⋆｡ ✧°

Har du lyst til at se og høre et roligt nummer med min Patchwork trio & Copenhagen Phil ?!
Så hop ind i dine headphones, tryk på linket og giv dig selv 9 minutter med stor orkester lyd og flotte billeder fra koncerten i det gamle "Radiohuset" på Rosenørnsalle.
Glockenblumen - Rune Thorsteinsson Patchwork & Copenhagen Phil
Om Glockenblumen:
Nummeret Glockenblumen blev oprindeligt skabt til min trio Body Rhythm Factory sammen med Malene Brask og Peter Stavrum.
Med Malene på klokkespil, Peter på vand lyde og mig der for første gang forsøger at kombinere keyboard og percussion 😅
(Se video klip med den originale version her nederst i teksten.)
I mødet med Copenhagen Phil og arrangør Benjamin de Murashkin bliver nummeret foldet ud og giver sig god tid. Både start og slutning er åben hvor det kun er trioen der spiller og improviserer. Selve temaet gentages 3 gange og bygger og ned med varierende orkestrering og instrumenter der træder frem. Derudover har Benjamin tilføjet et C stykke.
Jeg syntes Malene shiner som musiker i det her nummer. Både som solist på klokkespil og klarinet, men lige så meget med alt det krydder og tasty percussion hun tilføjer på logdrum, bells, woodblocks, og kalimba med delay og reverse effekt.
Stefan laver nogle ret nice fills i vandbaljen i starten af nummeret og så er jeg vild med den lille detalje i det groove han spille i sidste del af nummeret, hvor han laver små hurtige 16 dele på lilletrommen med fingrene.
Den fulde koncert udgivelse kan opleves på min sleeve profil under "Artist Backstage"
For kun 20 Kr.

En snas af den originale version af "Glockenblumen" kan ses og høres i starten af dette video klip. En skolekoncert teaser med Body Rhythm Factory tilbage fra 2013

About Glockenblumen
Glockenblumen was originally written for my trio Body Rhythm Factory, together with Malene Brask and Peter Stavrum.
Back then, Malene played glockenspiel, Peter created beautiful water sounds, and I — for the first time — tried combining keyboard and percussion 😅
When we revisited the piece with Copenhagen Phil and arranger Benjamin de Murashkin, it truly blossomed. The music takes its time, opening and closing with moments where only the trio plays and improvises. The main theme appears three times, growing and evolving through different orchestrations and featured instruments. Benjamin also added a brand-new C section.
Malene really shines in this version — both as a soloist on glockenspiel and clarinet, and through all the subtle, flavorful percussion textures she adds on log drum, bells, woodblocks, and kalimba, enhanced with delay and reverse effects.
Stefan brings some lovely touches too — from his creative fills in the water basin at the beginning to the intricate 16th-note finger work on the snare drum in the final groove.
You can watch the full concert release on my Sleeve profile under “Artist Backstage” — for just 20 DKK.
Bonus: A short clip of the original Glockenblumen version appears at the start of the video — a school concert teaser with Body Rhythm Factory from way back in 2013.
