Juli Deák is part of a younger generation of musicians shaping the contemporary Nordic scene with quiet focus. Despite her age, her practice carries depth and discipline, grounded in classical training while remaining open to improvisation and folk inflection. On flute and saxophone, she sustains melodic lines with patience, allowing phrases to unfold gradually and settle into the room.

Her collaborations with KammarensembleN, Konstmusiksystrar and VENI ensemble reflect a commitment to shared exploration. In Haldamas x Hulajdusza, jazz phrasing meets traditional folk material through attentive interplay and rhythmic clarity. Over time, her focus has turned increasingly toward the physical language of the flute itself — breath pressure, airflow, resonance, and the subtle mechanics of keys and metal.

In The Breathing Project, this inquiry becomes central. Circular breathing extends tones into long, continuous arcs. Breath noise and key clicks remain audible, close and unfiltered. She sings while playing, merging voice and instrument in a single stream of sound. The atmosphere is intimate and concentrated, shaped by endurance and control. Her work has been recognised by the Royal Swedish Academy of Music, and her piece Tamed has been selected for Ung Nordisk Musik Festival 2025.
