Lauri & Naoto

Naoto Yamagishi — drums (Japan)
Lauri Hyvärinen — electric guitar (Finland)

The Japanese-Finnish duo explores music free of formal rules. Balancing between instinct and structure, density and silence, the artists have had an uninterrupted dialogue since 2014, in which saturated, rough guitar sounds and deep, friction-based drums meet. They have toured in Japan, France, Spain, Sweden, Finland, Estonia and Germany.

Their releases include Live at Hošek (Bokashi Records, 2025), Love Hotel Blues with Sergio Castrillón (Yabuki Records, 2021) and Usva with Jone Takamäki (Rypistellyt levyt, 2016).

Lauri Hyvärinen is a guitarist and improviser born in 1986 in Helsinki. It uses the guitar as its main source of sound, combining improvisation with compositional and minimalist structures. He recorded for Dinzu Artefacts, NUNC and Intonema. He has performed in Europe, South Korea, Japan and the USA, including Wien Modern, Cafe Oto and Rhizome. He has collaborated with Félicie Bazelaire, Taku Sugimoto, Angharad Davies and Seijiro Murayama. He is a member of Sähkökitarakvartetti.

Naoto Yamagishi — drummer seeking music before the term was formally defined. He draws from the rhythms, sounds and spaces of everyday life. He collaborates with musicians, dancers, poets, photographers, painters, calligraphers and artists of other fields. He creates music for dance performances and video works.
