Who composed the music for the original Angry Birds video game?

Ari Pulkkinen composed the music for the original Angry Birds video game.

Pulkkinen is a Finnish video-game composer known for writing music for games, including the 2009 mobile puzzle title developed by Rovio Entertainment. His credit belongs to the original Angry Birds release, whose musical identity helped support its playful but energetic slingshot gameplay.

The game was first released for iOS on December 11, 2009, and its simple premise—launching birds into structures occupied by green pigs—helped it become an international mobile phenomenon. Pulkkinen’s composer credit is distinct from the later music created for the franchise’s films and spin-offs.

Players sometimes confuse the original game’s composer with Heitor Pereira, who composed the score for The Angry Birds Movie 2. David Schweitzer and Douglas Black Heaton are also associated with other screen or game-music projects, not the original Angry Birds game’s credited composition.
