Hi, I’m Jani Orbinski, a Helsinki-based sound designer and composer. I specialize in narrative audio, including audio drama, documentaries, and podcasts, with extensive experience working with Yleisradio (The Finnish Broadcast Company) on long-form productions. I design sound and compose music as part of the overall dramaturgy — shaping how a piece unfolds in time, how attention is guided, and how emotional and narrative arcs are experienced through sound. Alongside media work, I have created sound and music for theatre and dance, which informs my approach to structure, rhythm, and the relationship between sound and performance. I also work with generative and interactive audio using tools like Max/MSP.
