Arttu Silvast (b. 1981, Hanko, Finland) is a multi-instrumentalist composer based in Helsinki. His sound bridges neo-classical minimalism, ambient electronics, and Nordic instrumental textures—think resonant piano, jouhikko, and cinematic synthesis. 

After years as a music journalist and editor with Yle, and an impactful stint living in Southeast Asia, Silvast turned to composition for documentaries, TV, commercials, podcasts, and solo releases. 

His debut Polarity (2021) was celebrated for its narrative flow, while Isthmus (2024) channels Northern landscapes into minimal yet expansive sound. 

He also creates atmospheric library music via Cézame and Universal Music. With influences like Brian Eno, Vangelis, Ólafur Arnalds, and Jóhann Jóhannsson, Silvast crafts music that opens worlds in the listener’s imagination.

I'm a 33-year old pianist and self taught composer from Finland. Making music is a hobby  for me while by profession I'm a teacher. All tracks are made with FL Studio. If you need to ask anything, you can reach me through email: olli.lukkari@gmail.com

Feel free to use my tracks in any projects free of charge - please do mention me in credits though.

I combine elements from electric and classical music in a cinematic way. One of my dreams is to have my music in a movie/video game!

What music means to me?

Besides being a source of joy (and a source of many other feelings), music for me is also a form a meditation and a tool for exploring myself and my own psyche. 

Sometimes I imagine myself as an explorer like  Magalhães, Marco Polo or Ibn Battuta, venturing in the unknown land of my psyche; music is the ship with which I sail through the sea of different emotions and thoughts. On  a music listening session I might jot down any new ideas that occupy my mind and use them in my writing or in my life later on. 

Or maybe I don't always jot down ideas - listening to music also brings me to present moment. And I love savoring that moment by just lying down eyes closed on my bed, often listening to music is close to a holy experience for me.

In the hard moments of my life, music has been a way of expressing my emotions when there have not been people around me or courage in me to talk through my feelings. Through music I can also express emotions in a way I could never with words. 

Through music I can keep myself in anchored to who I feel I really am - without music I fear I could lose this touch. Music can be a wordless world and as such, it's free from categories that words have attached to them.

“If a composer could say what he had to say in words he would not bother trying to say it in music.” -Gustav Mahler

Other than music, I study special education and writing, hang out and volunteer in the entrepreneurship, arts and hippie circles. I  read a lot, write a lot and watch many (documentary) films.
