Jalkanen

How soundtracks and sound design complete a visual story has resonated with me since I was 13, when I first saw The Third Man.

Composition is in my blood. My Finnish mother would say it’s our family connection to Sibelius, who knows. As a young child, I’d sit at the piano next to my Grandfather, watching my fingers dance instinctively beside his.

Later, an arts degree, majoring in cinema studies, led to being part of the highly successful synthpop outfit Static Icon.

In 2020 I created the prolific Montage Collective; composing, producing and collaborating with artists worldwide from my studio in Melbourne, Australia.
