Lauri Lest

An Estonian musician, sound and performance artist. Lauri creates and plays atmospheric electronic music, works with found objects, vibration speakers, lights and sound and video editing software. With his musical installations, often site-specific and consisting of discarded items, he activates rooms and places that are otherwise abandoned or of secondary importance. His art can be described as melancholic, dreamy, experimental and sometimes humorous. He has released three studio albums and holds a degree in Sculpture and Installation from the Estonian Academy of Arts.

Lauri won the Performing Arts Award at the Estonian Theatre Awards 2026 for the sound installation for the stage production “Eeter” (Theatre Ekspeditsioon) and the concert-performance “Orchestra of Objects” (Paavli Kultuurivabrik).
