NEKO3 present a program that explores the phenomenon of feedback in its many forms and meanings. The selected works highlight the potential of feedback both at a musical level—through resonance, loops, and electroacoustic processes—and at a structural or data level, where feedback shapes form, gesture, and communication between performers. Through a sequence of solos and duos, the program investigates feedback as a force of repetition, resistance, and renewal. Each work proposes a different perspective: from acoustic self-resonance on percussion instruments, to the intimate loop between performer and electronics, to the mirrored interplay of two drummers. Taken together, the program unfolds as a study of how feedback can generate new sonic worlds and reframe the role of the performer.

NEKO3 is a Copenhagen-based experimental group consisting of three members: pianist/performer Fei Nie and two percussionists/performers Lorenzo Colombo and Kalle Hakosalo.
The ensemble is working towards the creation of a new musical language and repertoire, building a narrative and concept for each concert and aiming to provide unique experiences for its audiences. NEKO3 is continuously collaborating with composers and other creators of art, focusing on the interplay between images, electronics, videos, lights, and seeking to integrate music, visual art, installations, body performance and other forms of art into one conceptual whole.
