TEKNO in Malmö, November 12–14, 2026 – is a new festival that explores the intersection of music and technology. TEKNO 2026 is produced in collaboration with Inter Arts Center, Inkonst, and more secret venues to be revealed, with support from Malmö Stad and Region Skåne. Follow the TEKNO festival on Facebook.

The performing composer Maja S. K. Ratkje is at the forefront of the musical avant-garde. Despite its boldness and originality, her music is meant for sharing. At its heart lies Ratkje’s own voice, an open door to her individual musicianship and a constant tool for realigning her work with natural expressions and human truths.  

Growing up in Trondheim, Ratkje sang jazz, played the piano, joined a Gamelan group and co-founded the Oslo Industrial Ensemble. Mathematics, philosophy and the works of Karlheinz Stockhausen, Olivier Messiaen and Arne Nordheim would all have a lasting influence on her work.
