Dayjob Collective
“How would you describe it? As if bitter but intoxicating thermos-coffee
distilled via fotosynthesis, the mind condensed into a cloud, and earthworms
dug us out of the soil instead of the other way around…”
– from Kesäduuni (Summer Job) program
Dayjob is a Helsinki-based collective investigating spaces between new music, performance art, and theater.
We are a seven member collective of composers, instrumentalists, performance artists, and directors. We develop and realize radical new works that synthesize media and genres. We are preoccupied with the materiality of sound, the sonic possibilities of physical material, the theatrical dimensions of music performance, and the musical possibilities of physical theater. We explore new modes of collaboration, and new ways of challenging traditionally defined boundaries of discipline and aesthetic.
Members of the Dayjob Collective: Tim Page, Ossi Koskelainen, Salla Hakkola, Kaisa Kortelainen and Sikri Lehko

“While the boss isn’t looking, they sip beer on the pier. That’s when they get their best ideas. The following day’s dynamic is somehow different, the following night sweaty and restless, and so forth and so on, until everything is transformed in a way that no one would have expected. How would you describe it? As if bitter but intoxicating thermos-coffee distilled via fotosynthesis, the mind condensed into a cloud, and earthworms dug us out of the soil instead of the other way around…”
Repertoire: Timothy Page, Ville Raasakka, Michael Meirhoff, Salla Hakkola
