Play all audio recordingsJ-T (Juhani Topias) Vesikkala Wittmacher was born in Helsinki in 1990 and works as a composer, baritone singer, multi-instrumentalist, teacher and writer of music. As of 2022, Vesikkala has a doctoral degree in composition (PhD) from HAMU, Prague. Vesikkala completed a Master’s degree at the Sibelius Academy with T. Nevanlinna and V. Puumala. Between 2012 and 2013, Vesikkala studied with Beat Furrer and Pierluigi Billone in Kunstuniversität Graz, as well as electroacoustic composition at the IEM.
Compositions spanning most acoustic genres, electronic, comprovisation, and intermedial music have been performed worldwide, since 2002 when Vesikkala studied with J. Trbojević and L. Wennäkoski. An extensive thesis on integrated piano multiphonic flageolets research from Vesikkala’s previous 2015 Florence acoustics congress paper was published in 2016. Vesikkala has taught the topic of timbral composition and analysis, the same topic of the recent dissertation The Noise–Pitch Continuum in Timbral Music, as a part-time teacher at the Sibelius Academy during 2022. Competition victories include DYCE 2019 and 2020 as well as the Uuno Klami Young Composers' Competition in 2007.
Vesikkala's recent work has concentrated on instrumental noise and free microintervallic music, also as a curator of microtonal festivals in the international MicroFest format.
