About

Sebastian Kurtén (he/him), born in 1993 in Helsinki, is a Finland-based sound designer, music producer, and dancer. In 2008 Kurtén started his creative path, drawn in by hip-hop culture, as he began breaking and producing music. Today, Kurtén works primarily as a sound designer in the field of dance, where he fuses his two greatest passions: sound and movement.

Kurtén's sound is a seamless blend of the synthetic and organic - processed field recordings, found objects, instruments, and plug-ins— all mashed up within Ableton Live. His curiosity for sound and eagerness to experiment have made him a versatile, genre-fluid professional. Kurtén is known for creating with whatever is at hand, a practice that has honed his ability to craft compelling audio with minimal resources.
