MIXTAPE FOR METAFIN (2015) KD & Young Jenna

For our mixtape, we will apply the Japanese technique called Ma, or negative space, which is based on the idea of making a composition out of not objects themselves but the space between the objects, that is, everything that's not Finland. This is something we have learned from Momus, the singing author and our previous club guest, who once wrote a book about Scotland in such manner, thus discovering the true essence of his home country.

KD and Young Jenna are known for their eclectic musical visions and activities from club nights to installations. The duo is currently based between London, Berlin and Helsinki.
