Who are we?
Elèni Mik
Elèni Mik is a Greek-Dutch musician and artist. Having played classical piano from 5 years old, her true musical passion emerged at 19, when she attended a maqam and pre-war rebetiko seminar, where the Oud spoke to her differently. Alongside her musical development and exploration, she finished her studies in Theoretical Physics in Amsterdam and Berlin, focusing on philosophy of science and astrophysics, while performing across the city’s music scene. Now based in Rotterdam, she studies Oud and the musical traditions of the Silk Road at Codarts and frequently collaborates across theater, dance, and performance art. Her recent work includes composing and performing for productions such as the puppetry theater Zai el Lila at Ernst Busch University of Theatre Arts Berlin, and developing new interdisciplinary projects in dance and performance art.
Akiko Mik
Akiko Mik is a composer and vocalist based in the Netherlands. She creates electro-acoustic works that blend experimental pop, electronics, and contemporary art music. Her compositions often merge song forms with structured compositional frameworks and explore the coexistence of movement and stillness. Akiko frequently collaborates across disciplines to create an immersive experience. Her piece Voiced Void, for three speakers and percussionists, exemplifies her interest in layered time and spatial sound.
