Since 1996, after his many projects in folk, rock, dance, theatre and avant-garde music projects, Kimmo has concentrated on his solo 5-row accordion project, featuring extreme and original compositions, live loops and effects, dynamic and animated stage performance, orchestrated lights and surround sound. Sound and light engineers Heikki Iso-Ahola and Ari "Valo" Virtanen are crucial elements of the performance, creating an event that is stimulating visually as it is sonically. His performances and his music have been called revolutionary, astounding audiences and critics alike with their uncompromising intensity and originality. Solo concerts have been performed all over Europe, North and South America, Israel, Japan and Russia to unanimous rave reviews.

Kimmo's solo recording Kielo was released in Finland, Japan and France and has received astounding and unanimous critical acclaim. Songlines magazine UK voted it in their "Top of the World" listing.
