Ilari Heinilä FINLAND

Ilari is nominated for the 2025 HARPA Nordic Film Composers Award for his score in "Sebastian".

Blending the rebellious spirit of DIY punk rock with the atmospheric allure of electronica, Ilari Heinilä is a musical artisan whose sound defies conventions. His most recent film, Sebastian (directed by the critically acclaimed Mikko Mäkelä), premiered at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival. In collaboration with Will Quiney’s trailer house, Acid, Heinilä 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,” Heinilä 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.

Ilari Heinilä has created original music for a wide range of media projects, showcasing his talent and dedication to the craft.
​
Beyond music and sound, he is also passionate about tattoos and sailing.
