Some updates to my Mikko Raita site, just missing a new bespoke "about" bio now... Do check it out! mikkoraita.com

@yle.naamio.social made a nice interview about me and my work! Of course about mixing the music for the Oscar-winning Flow with @gintszilbalodis.bsky.social & Rihards Zalupe, but other projects also mentioned. Interview in Swedish, english translation here: yle-fi.translate.goog/a/7-10076813...

New mix & maste for my friends at Dark Satellite! Listen here: tidal.com/browse/album...

My 15 minutes of fame continues, now a 6 minute insert in our biggest commercial TV channel MTV3's "Huomenta Suomi" morning programme and this MTV Uutiset interview with the clip. I talk about working on the Oscar-winning animation "Flow" and Netflix' "Little Siberia", among other things.

Hesarikin ehti arvioimaan Flown! www.hs.fi/taide/art-20...

Flow Finnish premiere today across the country! I mixed the music by director @gintszilbalodis.bsky.social and Rihards Zalupe to this gem. Tätä ei kannata missata!

New music out! The last of this batch of Stele / Arthur Troch tracks that I've done. Mixed & mastered by me in Dolby Atmos, stereo and 5.1. www.youtube.com/watch?v=81rl...

The meteor has arrived on Netflix! See Dome Karukoski's "Little Siberia" ("Pikku Siperia") - I mixed Panu Aaltio's brilliant music for this gem, as well as recording the Jouhikko and Nyckelharpa soloists Ilkka Heinonen and Emilia Lajunen. Do check it out!

New music out! The second track from Celestial Aeon Project's special Budapest Art Orchestra sessions - stereo & Dolby Atmos mix, master and edit by me, orchestration & arrangement by Pessi Levanto. :) www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GC_...

New music out! Maestro Esa Helasvuo's "EbA" recorded, mixed, mastered and edited by me, in stereo and Dolby Atmos!

I set a reminder on Netflix for Dome Karukoski's "Little Siberia" ("Pikku Siperia") coming on 21th of March, maybe you should too? www.netflix.com/title/81284727 I worked on @panuaaltio.bsky.social's brilliant and inventive music for this first ever Finnish Netflix Original film production!

This is huge! I did a quite lenghty promo interview with @liquidsonics.com about my work on mixing the "Flow" film music by Rihards Zalupe and @gintszilbalodis.bsky.social. It gets a little technical, but has also general insight into the music production process of this Oscar winning feature.

@mikkoraita.bsky.social is a Finnish audio engineer known for his immersive sound mixing on film scores and music projects. In this interview we talk about his mix of the score for multi-award winning independent animated film Flow which recently won the Oscar for Best Animated Feature Film.

Flow won Best Animation at @theacademyusa.bsky.social!! Music to this unique film mixed by me. Congrats @gintszilbalodis.bsky.social and the whole team!

Can't wait for tonight and the oscars. Best of luck @gintszilbalodis.bsky.social and all of the team, thank you for letting me mix yours and Rihards' amazing music!

Flow won at Cesars! Music mixed by me, on to Oscars...

Trying to figure out how to best showcase my work going forward, especially with the success of #Flow. Here's a work in progress Yotube playlist, with works from recent years and biased towards orchestral and film music works. I'm currently available for projects, reach out if you'd like to talk!

Flow wins Best Animation at Académie des César! The music by director @gintszilbalodis.bsky.social and Rihards Zalupe mixed by myself. The composers are already on their next adventure onsite preparing for The #Oscars...

It's a takeover then? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Latvian Dream Well Studio gang (Gints Zilbalodis, Matīss Kaža & co) behind Flow & co-composer Rihards Zalupe, with myself representing Finland as the music mixer 🙂

Queen of Fucking Everything started 8,3 million times in Yle Areena! I recorded, mixed, edited and mastered Lauri Porra's music for the soundtrack, 5.1 and Dolby Atmos. The series is also coming to all other Nordic countries, as well as Germany, Belgium and The Netherlands. yle.fi/aihe/a/20-10...

Saturday warderobe - I can so relate to this! 😂

We established Dream Well Studio in Latvia for Flow. This room is the whole studio. Usually about 4-5 people were working at the same time including me. I was quite anxious about being in charge of a team, never having worked in any other studios before, but it worked out.

AMAZING!! 2 Oscar nominations for Flow, music to this one of a kind "the animation that could" mixed & surround mixed by me!!

🎶 A Special Day! 🎶 Excited to announce the release of the first piece in a four-part series, performed by the RTVE Orchestra. This music evokes childhood nostalgia. Rolf Gustavson, @mikkoraita.bsky.social, Ariane Moulard, Nigel Valencia,RTVE Orchestra. #musicrelease #dreams #composer #orchestra
