A poetic musical journey through the world of the beloved Finnish characters by author and illustrator Tove Jansson, composed by Lauri Porra when the 80th anniversary of the first Moomin story.

Finnish composer Lauri Porra (who is the great-grandson of Jean Sibelius) invites the Moomins’ vast international fanbase on a poetic journey through the seasons, forests, and beaches of Moominvalley. He has been creating the musical world of the “Moomins”, beloved troll characters by Finnish author and artist Tove Jansson, for many years.The new album “Seasons in Moominvalley” features 21 atmospheric instrumental pieces for piano, string ensemble, or a combination of both (sometimes complemented by natural soundscapes), the album.
What does Moominvalley sound like? How do you interpret the Moomin stories into music? Three musicians with unique insight into Tove Jansson’s Moomin music shared their thoughts at the Tove festival in Helsinki, in September 2021. More recently, we also interviewed Sigur Rós’ composer Kjartan Sveinsson about being featured in the highly anticipated Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley game.
Composer and bass player Lauri Porra has been making music for the Moomin brand for several years. He describes his journey into interpreting Moomin into music as some kind of detective work.
