Lauri has worked in Finland with the New Standard Tuning, being one of the few guitarists if not the only one in Finland who uses this tuning almost exclusively.

In his current ambient performances Lauri uses a guitar synthesizer and loopers, long delays etc. that gives him a wide range of tonal possibilities to create magical soundscapes, ambient music and loop music. Lauri Peltonen works with carefully sculpted guitar synthesizer sounds that are rich with diverse textures. Lauri's ambient is at the same time grounding and a celebration of fantasy and imagination. It has been said to be like a dream that you don't want to end, or a warm hug from a dear friend.

Lauri’s ambient project since 2023 has been Off-World Moments.
