About this show
Music, myth and moving image converge in a mesmeric performance reframing Scotland’s darker ballads and folklore. Rooted in North-East Scotland and resonant with universal themes of movement and belonging, it charts an intoxicating journey through place and memory. Unfolding as an invocation of land and lineage, experimental electronica fuses with archive material and traditional instrumentation as live vocals mesh with evocative visuals, drawing audiences into a cinematic landscape of myth, memory and song. 'Wow, that's advanced and beautiful' (Iggy Pop, BBC Radio 6 Music). 'Sublimely powerful' (Songlines). MadeInScotlandShowcase.com

There are undoubtedly huge reserves of emotion to be found here, with hints of that emotional flow state and deep connection to the material that the great singers of Traveller families called the conyach.
