https://www.celticconnections.com/event/1/fiona-soe-paing-sandsilt-flint-with-quinie/A dream-like invocation of Scottish landscape, story and song – tradition meets innovation in a cinematic fusion of music, myth and moving image.
SAND, SILT, FLINT brings to life the acclaimed album from singer-producer Fiona Soe Paing, praised by Songlines as “a sublimely powerful and lingering experience” and by Iggy Pop as “advanced and beautiful.”
Contemporary re-workings of Northeast Scottish ballads sit alongside innovative compositions inspired by folklore and landscape, drawing audiences into the places and stories behind each song.
With haunting live vocals, striking visuals by Isla Goldie, archival audio fragments from the School of Scottish Studies, and recorded contributions from premier Scottish instrumentalists Paul Anderson Alice Allen, Joanna Nicholson, Thee Manual Labour, David McKay, and Irene Watt, this mesmerising audiovisual experience charts a dreamlike journey through time and place — a hypnotic fusion of music, myth and moving image.
