Fiona Soe Paing at the Invisible Folk Club

<p>Avant-folk producer Fiona Soe Paing is a Scottish vocalist and sound artist. Combining multi-layered vocals with dark electronica, field recordings, archive material and traditional instruments, her music creates atmospheric and often unsettling songscapes.</p> <p><em>Sand, Silt, Flint</em> (released November 2022) is Fiona's second solo album, a re-imagining of folk tales and traditional ballads from North East Scotland. Sense of place is an important factor. Fiona has made the innovative step of linking each song to a specific location creating a virtual ‘Ballad Map' where the album is presented as a series of sound-walks via the <em>Echoes</em> phone app. The audio is triggered by GPS, enabling audiences to experience the music in the environments which provided it's inspiration.</p> <ul> <li>Visit Fiona's website <a href= "https://www.fionasoepaing.co.uk/">https://www.fionasoepaing.co.uk/</a></li> <li>Purchase Sand, Silt, Flint from <a href= "https://fionasoepaing.bandcamp.com/album/sand-silt-flint-3">https://fionasoepaing.bandcamp.com/album/sand-silt-flint-3</a></li> <li>Read a review in The Guardian <a href= "https://www.theguardian.com/music/2022/dec/21/fiona-soe-paing-sand-silt-flint-review"> https://www.theguardian.com/music/2022/dec/21/fiona-soe-paing-sand-silt-flint-review</a></li> <li>Investigate the Echoes interactive sound walks app <a href= "https://echoes.xyz/">https://echoes.xyz/</a></li> </ul> <p>The following songs from <em>Sand, Silt, Flint</em> are featured in this podcast:<br /> 1 Bessie Bell<br /> 2 Bonny Udny<br /> 3 Forvie<br /> 4 Ballad of John Hosie</p> <p>For more information about Invisible Folk go to <a href= "https://invisiblefolk.com/">https://invisiblefolk.com/</a></p>
