Ville Aslak Raasakka is a Finnish composer exploring the intersection of music and ecology. His works draw on bioacoustic recordings and environmental data from sources such as macroalgae, soil insects, coal mines, and marine microbes. He studied with Veli-Matti Puumala at the Sibelius Academy and Georges Aperghis in Paris.
In 2025–2026, Raasakka writes for the Mivos Quartet, Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival, Lorelei Dowling, Design Museum London, Avanti!, Tampere Biennale, Rainy Days Festival, Yarn/Wire, Speak Percussion, and Riot Ensemble.
His music has been performed by ensembles including Klangforum Wien, BBC Symphony Orchestra, Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra, Auckland Philharmonia, and Dal Niente, and presented at ECLAT, Gaudeamus Muziekweek, ISCM World New Music Days, Festival Archipel, AFEKT, and Open Music.
Raasakka’s projects often extend beyond the concert hall, featured at the Baltic Circle, Helsinki Biennial, Museum of Impossible Forms, and Flow Festival.
