I believe that meaningful music is the way for us to travel through time. That is why I want to make something that can last and bring you back every time you press play.

Markus Lappalainen

Well met!

The name is Markus Lappalainen, and I am a composer for narrative medias and performing arts.

Since 2014, I have contributed to over 40 released productions in various roles. As a composer I have provided music for TV-productions, video games and films. I have contributed additional music for Johannes Ringen on titles like Troll 2 and La Palma. In addition I have programmed mock-ups and electronics for Marcus Paus in his media and concert work.

In my music I draw influences from everywhere. I want to search for the style most fitting for a project and explore something new and different. Each story has a unique voice and I want to bring that out.

I am looking forward to working with you and yours.

Have a happy day!
