laiou

laiou is an electronic project by kantele player Noora Laiho and drummer Elias Laiho, where the kantele meets EDM and house music in a club context in an unconventional way. laiou’s live shows are made for dance floors and festival stages – an energetic, intense, and Ibiza-inspired atmosphere where a semi-acoustic instrument and club music merge, taking the audience straight into a true club experience.

Kantele

My kantele is a 39-string amplified concert kantele built by Hannu Koistinen. You can choose the color yourself, so of course it’s a glowing sun-orange! I’ve really liked Koistinen’s pickup system because it’s so easy to use and high-quality. I constantly get positive feedback from sound engineers at gigs about the mics: “Really great starting sound!” and a thumbs-up. At concerts there’s often very little time for a soundcheck, and then it’s one less thing to stress about when you can trust the pickup system and the sound.

Teaching

I teach kantele at the Pirkanmaa Music Institute, at Tampere seurakunnat, and at Steiner school´s Taidekoulu Tuulikello. My students range from children to adults, and we play kanteles of different sizes – from beginners to more advanced players. I teach in Tampere and Ylöjärvi.

In my lessons we explore all kinds of music, always taking students’ wishes into account. Feel free to get in touch if you’d like to start playing the kantele, are curious about the instrument, dreaming of getting your own kantele, or just want to come and try what kantele playing feels and sounds like!

I also offer online lessons – please contact me if you’d like to book even just a few sessions!
