"The sensitivity, airiness and rich emotional range of Turkka's compositions complemented the audiovisual narrative to the next level. Turkka's approach during the process was proactive and he was very easy and pleasant to work with. Highly recommended!"

"Turkka Vuorinen's understanding of the soundscape and his know-how in handling sound made the work effortless. Communication with him was easy and he applied himself to the task with dedication and thoroughness."

"Turka has a knack for getting inside a story and bringing more depth to it with his music. He is able to both enhance the emotion and lighten the mood when necessary. He is quick to pick up on the director's brain and can produce a wide range of music to support the scenes. Turkka is a brilliant composer, as evidenced by the wonderful, touching theme song (an infuriating earworm! :D) of the documentary series Half of Me, performed by Unna and Tero Vesterinen."

Half of Me - On the trail of my father's DNA
My co-director Mira Tauss and I worked with you for the first time and we are really happy with the way you communicate and interact in the design process. Our collaboration with you was based on a theatre performance and we adapted the theatre performance into a TV series. As I see it, the starting point, where your sound design is preceded by a sound design for a theatre performance, requires you to be sensitive to listening to the choices you have already made. We think you took the material that was beautifully presented and made it your "own", creating a rich sound fabric that carries the atmosphere and rhythm of the poem series. Thank you!"

"Turkka Vuorinen did a first-rate job composing the background music and the ending theme for the last episode of Yle's documentary series Poronuoret (2024). It was effortless to work with Turkka as communication worked, and he composed music that was completely in line with the brief and genre, adding an important layer to the emotional transport."
Laura Satimus, director and scriptwriter, Yle
Poronuoret
"Working with Turkka is inspiring and liberating. Turkka takes ownership of the project and does everything he can to make it a good one. This most positive sound designer in Northern Europe is the perfect blend of honesty, creativity, humour and relentlessness."

"Turkka has done both sound design and music for many children's shows. The work is uncomplicated and flexible. Turkka comes up with ideas and implements them, and the end result is always a positive surprise. The commitment to the projects is admirable and a pleasant working atmosphere is a matter of course."

"Together with Turkka, we made a radio documentary for Yle. Working with Turkka was straightforward and clear. He is quick and precise in his work, listens and is ready to discuss. The working atmosphere was relaxed and good work was produced all the time."

"Turka has always been easy to deal with and the museum has handled things smoothly and professionally. The presentations have been varied, surprising and pleasantly appropriate to the exhibition. For example, in the Jukka Mäkelä exhibition, the ensemble used the partition wall in the space in a very insightful and creative way, creating new dimensions to Mäkelä's paintings."
Harri Vuoti, Communications Secretary
Sara Hildèn Art Museum
"Sara Hildén Art Museum has had the pleasure of collaborating with Suhina Collective on the exhibitions Juhani Harri (2019), Still Still Life and Seurassa (2020). Suhina's improvised soundscapes, inspired by each exhibition, support the artworks, subtly colouring and adding a sonic dimension to the exhibition experience. The collaboration with the collective has been genuinely conversational and uncomplicated, and effortless for the museum. The feedback from the public has been good."
Sarianne Soikkonen, Exhibition Manager

"I was pleased to work with Turkka on a documentary film Martin Parr "Think of Finland". I only met him after the project was finalized. But the communication throughout the project was very productive. He immediately understood what I was looking for. And every time I received any samples from him they exceeded my expectations. He took the whole project seriously and by his dedication we were able to bring the work to another level."
