About Jani
Hi, I’m Jani Orbinski (TeM), a Finnish sound designer, composer, and sound artist who loves turning stories into unforgettable sound experiences. RHYTHM and FLOW are at the heart of what I do, and I draw on my musical roots to craft soundscapes filled with ENERGY and EMOTION that connect deeply with listeners.
Whether I’m designing sound for radio plays, theater productions, or composing music that stands on its own—or complements documentaries, podcasts, advertisements or games—I bring CREATIVITY, CARE, and a LOVE for storytelling to every project.
I also have a knack for humor, finding joy in using sound and rhythm to bring playful, lighthearted moments to life when they’re needed most. Humor, for me, is a way to make space for other, more difficult feelings, helping them cut through the armors we tend to wear as human beings. My goal is always to create work that feels GENUINE and resonates on a gut level.
In sound art, I enjoy exploring the possibilities of technology as a creative partner. Using tools like Max/MSP and Python, I create generative and interactive audio works that invite people to ENGAGE with SOUND in fresh and unexpected ways.

Music Portfolio
NeverEndingValborg
Made for "Tykkää ja Jaa" (Yle). Happy and joyful Hip Hop beat. This ended up as a theme for the famous SomeDog Seppo
Kesäpäivä Toimistolla
Made for it.kupla.net (Yle) This was one of the last songs I made for this series. Since I was also Sound Designer for this project, I knew we will need something very chill for the moments where sun is shining before the Y2K crash.
Moods
Made for "Tykkää ja Jaa" (Yle). Techno-esque piece. Needed something dark yet forward pushing rhythm song for the show.
Blinking Auras
Made for Tykkää ja Jaa (Yle). Ambient stuff.
Haippi (Hype)
Made for Tykkää ja Jaa (Yle). Hip Hop -style beat.
Anywhere you wanna go
Made for it-kupla.net (Yle) This is pure Piripolkka like we say in Finland
Rytsölä Bash
Made for it.kupla.net (Yle) One of the main themes from the series. There was strong influence taken from the late 90's video game(s).
Rytsölä Island
Made for it.kupla.net (Yle) This one I tried to compose so that it can be used adaptively, like in games.
Rytsölä Chill
Made for it.kupla.net (Yle) Chill and groove
