YÉ YÉ, A SURREAL NIGHT OF MUSIC DICTATED BY THE THOUGHT, IN THE ABSENCE OF ANY CONTROL EXERCISED BY REASON. BASED AROUND AND ABOUT HELSINKI, YÉ YÉ IS A HOME FOR DIFFERENT MUSICAL VISIONS AND ACTIVITIES FROM PERFORMANCES TO INSTALLATIONS, EMBELLISHED WITH A SURREALIST BACKDROP. WE PLAY BOTH CURRENT AND PAST MUSIC OF THE FUTURE FROM EXPERIMENTAL AND COSMIC TO NEW, COLD AND DARK WAVES.
