"Mikko Sarvanne has succeeded in creating a cohesive work in
which the musical language of ambient, electronic, acoustic instruments, and elements of nature intertwine into its own universe in an
innovative manner."
- the panel of judges of Teosto Prize 2023 (Mikko Sarvanne's compositions on Mikko Sarvanne Garden's album "Heräämisen valkea myrsky" are the winner of Teosto Prize 2023)
Mikko Sarvanne (b. 1992) is a Finnish composer based in Helsinki. His composition style blends the sounds of urban and natural environments with a deeply emotional sense of melody and harmony. Sarvanne's music crafts captivatingly morphing spaces of resonance, attracting the listener to rest and to wonder. For Mikko Sarvanne it's equally inspiring to work with commissions within the contemporary music and performing arts scene as well as with his own ensembles like Mikko Sarvanne Garden.
