Mikael Tosti has over 40 years of experience across architecture, music, theatre, and composition. Born in Odense, he later moved to Aarhus (the cultural capital of the time) and became deeply involved in the music scene while studying architecture.

He discovered how naturally the two fields connect, and began working in theatre production and stage design, using well-known spaces in completely new ways to create ambitious outdoor performances.

His life continued to revolve around music, theatre, and architecture. He wrote records, toured as part of Danish trio Tundra through Latin America, and collaborated with musicians across Cuba, Venezuela, Peru, and Norway.

In the mid-90s Mikael moved to Copenhagen, where he studied contemporary music composition and continued to experiment – especially with the shift from analog to digital. The shift spawned many questions and led to a PhD thesis which explored the core question for many contemporary creators: “How do digital tools change our understanding of the material we work with?”

It's a relevant question for all of us, whether you're an artist, social worker or entrepreneur. As Mikael says: "When you write music by hand, you have touched every detail, but digitally you can suddenly create works that you only have to get to know afterwards".

Today Mikael also works in analogue and digital as a director in TJAEK, which has contractors and craftsmen as customers.

About the Dinner
Over dinner in his Amagerbrø home, Mikael will explore the idea of a “life’s red thread” – the themes, decisions, and tools that shape who we become. He will share stories from a career that crosses art forms and continents, and open a conversation about intuition, creativity, and how the tools we use influence what we make.
