Music Composition for an Acrobatic Fire Performance

Music for acrobatic performance

Talvisoolo (Winter Solo) was composed for an acrobatic fire performer from Trio Taika, created in collaboration with Visa Oscar. The piece captures a dialogue between a fiery spirit and a world that freezes and thaws.

The track incorporates extensive icy textures – rhythms, ambiences, and melodies – some sourced directly from the Live Antarctic Stream of AWI.

It also features samples from the following Freesound contributors: Black_Boe, c97059890, Corsica_S, deer, Dynamicell, gelo_papas, laurent, scarbelly25, and soalicesays.

Jungle of Sound: A Generative Sound Art Installation

Sound Design Programming

Ääniviidakko (Jungle of Sound) is a generative, synthetic rainforest soundscape installation created for the chill-out area of the Manaus techno party in Helsinki. Due to the close proximity of the chill-out space to the main stage, sonic separation was limited, making a DJ setup impractical.

The installation consists of eight independent sound layers, each evolving continuously and rhythmically unrelated to the others. No natural recordings were used as source material. Instead, a few abstract rhythmic and melodic elements were processed through extensive effects chains to generate a dynamic, jungle-like soundscape that never repeats.

The composition features long cycles, shifting between impressions of day and night, relaxation and activity. Stochastic MIDI generators control software synthesizers that emulate wind and water sounds, adding organic movement.

To enhance the synthetic base, a subtle collage of real jungle and rainforest sounds – primarily bird calls – is layered intermittently, giving life and authenticity to the environment.

The installation was realized using Plogue Bidule.

Signal Sound Design for a File-Sharing Application

Signal sounds

This project involved creating a set of sounds tailored for integration into a file-sharing tool Yunako, with a specific request for textures that evoke water and a cool, refreshing atmosphere. The source material originated from an upright piano improvisation, from which individual notes were carefully extracted. These notes underwent extensive processing including effects and manipulation to transform the acoustic piano sounds into an ambient, fluid sonic palette.

Introductory Mood Music for the Film

Cinema opening music

An ambient soundscape composed for the opening night of an independent movie theater. The piece was designed to subtly emerge from the natural ambient noise of the theater, gradually tuning the audience into the mood of the featured film, Nuovomondo. Commissioned by Kino Tapiola, the soundscape originally included four minutes of ambient room noise at the beginning, which have been edited out.

The track uses samples from following Freesound contributors: c97059890, Corsica S, Fonogeno, Greysound, Jasinski and Schalkalwis.

Score and Sound Design for a Tribal Combat Scene

Music for a Short Film

The project was part of my thesis on sound design for live-action role-playing. A few years earlier, I had joined the Dragonbane LARP as a volunteer sound designer. This massive-scale game took place deep in the forests of Sweden. I also contributed to the concept and synopsis of the short film. As sound designer, my responsibilities included creating the musical world for the game’s characters and partially developing a ritualistic musical culture.
