Timo Anttila

Timo Anttila is a composer who worked at Nokia from 2001 to 2002. He composed and optimized several ringtones that shipped on many of Nokia's first models with polyphonic ringtones.

Outside of Nokia, he has released a few house EPs, although he has not released any new material since 2011.

Work with Nokia
Anttila joined Nokia in 2001, working on UI sounds and ringtones. At the time, the only other in-house sound designer was Mikko Tillander, although Jussi Salonen joined later that year. He also optimized ringtones for models such as the Nokia 3510. He decided to only work at the company for a year, as he wanted to continue studies and work on sound design for films and advertising. After leaving, Markus Castrén, who was Anttila's friend at Tampere Polytechnic Art and Media school, joined in his place and only worked for 5 months as he also intended to continue his studies.

Regarding hearing his ringtones in public, Anttila wrote: Before iPhone hit the market it was practically impossible to avoid hearing my tracks or remixed versions of those in public in Finland. It was really weird at first realising how those tracks were kind of "top of the charts" at one time.
