LAU NAU, aka Laura Naukkarinen, is one of the most interesting names in the contemporary music scene in Finland. Her songs are imbued with a cinematic breadth of vision and her idiosyncratic, finely honed sound world builds on fragile, spectral otherness. She works using both acoustic and electronic instruments, from field recordings to analogue synthesizers, from vocals and traditional instruments to musique concrete and found objects.

PEKKO KÄPPI is the world-famous Jouhikko player and Finnish folk music artist. Jouhikko is the ancient Finnish-Karelian bowed lyre and some of Pekko’s instruments are his own constructions. Pekko’s music have been described like this: “In his hands the rough sound of weaved horsehair strings are swaying between the foul and lovely – dirty and pure. The old songs of unwritten tradition, timeless and dark stories mediates in his mouth.”
Lau and Pekko will perform together.
