J-T Vesikkala Wittmacher (b. 1990, Helsinki) is a composer, baritone singer, multi-instrumentalist, teacher and writer of music and a doctorate scholar in composition at HAMU, Prague, since 2018. Vesikkala completed a Master’s degree at the Sibelius Academy with T. Nevanlinna and V. Puumala. Between 2012 and 2013, Vesikkala studied with Beat Furrer and Pierluigi Billone in Kunstuniversität Graz, as well as electroacoustic composition at the IEM.

Compositions spanning most acoustic genres, electronic, comprovisation, and intermedial music have been performed worldwide, since 2002 when Vesikkala studied with J. Trbojević and L. Wennäkoski. An extensive thesis on integrated piano multiphonic flageolets research from Vesikkala’s previous 2015 Florence acoustics congress paper was published in 2016.
Vesikkala's recent work has concentrated on free microtonality and instrumental noise.
