Playful, concept-driven music that invites performers to explore, audiences to listen deeply, and commissioners to imagine new possibilities.

 “…Romppanen’s complex, multi-layered music bigger than human …
Sandbox of Almach is a kind of sonata, in which the parts referring to the different
types of children’s play give the impression of a rugged but playful explanation of the world,
of the universe as organized chaos.”
Auli Särkiö-Pitkänen in Kompositio 2/2025
