About this Event
Sand, Silt, Flint: Fiona Soe Paing (music)
Fiona Soe Paing’s innovative brew of electro alt-folk melds her Scottish/Burmese heritage, electronic music background and fascination with the darker side of North-East Scotland’s balladry tradition with a delicately blended palette of silvery electronic textures and traditional Scottish sounds. Otherworldly vocals, grainy synths, haunted strings, archival material and sounds from nature create a mesmerising and evocative soundtrack for the accompanying visuals by collaborator Isla Goldie.
Described by Songlines Magazine as “a sublimely powerful and lingering experience”, re-imaginings of traditional ballads and ancient stories conjure a compelling blend of tradition and innovation.
Ages 12+
“Wow, that’s advanced, and beautiful!” – Iggy Pop, BBC 6 Music
“Avant-garde folk doesn’t get much better than this…” – Billy Rough, Songlines Magazine
“Dark, extraordinary versions of traditional songs… I am already a big fan.” – Elizabeth Alker, BBC Radio 3, Unclassified
