Lau Nau

Lau Nau, the stage name for Finnish artist Laura Naukkarinen, is a unique voice in the contemporary music scene, blending elements of experimental folk and ambient soundscapes. Since emerging in the early 2000s, Lau Nau has engaged audiences with her ethereal vocals and atmospheric compositions that draw from nature, improvisation, and the rich tradition of Finnish folk music. Her work extends beyond traditional song structures, often embracing the unpredictability of her environments and the emotional landscapes within.

Lau Nau's discography is a testament to her versatility and artistic evolution, with projects ranging from the critically acclaimed "Valo Siroutuu" and its accompanying Japan Remixes to the immersive experience of "Själö," an original soundtrack with sound environments by Janne Laine that underscores her deep connection with cinematic narratives. Noteworthy among her recent releases is "Aphrilis," a track that exemplifies her ability to convey profound sentiment with minimalistic textures. Whether crafting evocative themes for films, as with "Lovi Main Theme," or exploring the intricate patterns of "5 x 4," Lau Nau continues to enchant listeners with her meditative and transformative sound.
