Ilari Heinilä FINLAND

Blending the rebellious spirit of DIY punk rock with the atmospheric allure of electronica, Ilari is a musical artisan whose sound defies conventions. One of his recent films Sebastian (directed by the critically acclaimed Mikko Mäkelä) premiered at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival, and received significant recognition, including nominations for the prestigious HARPA Nordic Film Composer Award and the Best Music Jussi Award, Finland's top film accolade for musical achievement.

In collaboration with Will Quiney’s trailer house, Acid, Ilari has secured placements in notable projects, including a TV spot for Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon.

Describing his music as “organic electronica”, Ilari explores the duality between organic sounds and electronic production techniques. The result is a sonically adventurous, richly textured tapestry that captures the essence of a musical journey through seamless artistry.

Beyond music and sound, Ilari is passionate about tattoos and sailing.
