Juli Deák, a Polish-Hungarian flutist and saxophonist based in Stockholm, brings a unique fusion of classical, contemporary, and jazz music to the stage. With a foundation in classical music, her artistic work now explores extended techniques, circular breathing, and improvisation.
Her solo project, The Breathing Project, invites the audience into an intimate and organic sound world, where tender melodies intertwine with ever-lasting circular breathing and percussive effects. By highlighting the hidden sounds of the flute—breath noise, key clicks, and subtle tonal shifts—she creates a deeply immersive atmosphere. During her performances, she challenges both her physical limits and the traditional boundaries of the flute, presenting the circular breathing technique in a way that is raw and direct, connecting with the audience on a visceral level. She also incorporates singing while playing, offering a pure and fundamental form of expression that further amplifies the emotional depth of her music. Her piece Tamed has been selected for the Ung Nordisk Musik Festival in 2025.
