“some of
the most satisfying and complete music to be found anywhere in these
islands” – The Quietus
Brìghde Chaimbeul
(Breech-huh Campbell) is a leading purveyor of celtic experimentalism
and a master of the Scottish smallpipes; a bellows-blown, mellower
cousin to the famous Highland bagpipes. A native Gaelic speaker,
Brìghde roots her music in her language and culture. She rose to
prominence as a prodigy of traditional music, but has since begun a
journey to take the smallpipes into unchartered territory.
She has devised a
unique way or arranging for pipe music that emphasises the rich
textural drones of the instrument; the constancy of sound that
creates a trance-like atmosphere, played with enticing virtuosic
liquidity. She draws inspiration from the world of interconnected
piping traditions, but her most recent album brings in influence from
ambient, avant garde and electronic music.
Her mesmerising
musicianship has won her many awards and media recognition, including
BBC Young Folk Award, BBC Horizon Award, SAY Award nomination and a
wide array of collaborators include Caroline Polachek, Colin Stetson,
Gruff Rhys, Radie Peat.
Brìghde’s
smallpipes are made by renowned makers Fin Moore and Hamish Moore.
Bea Brennan & Minced Oath
Bea Brennan and Dunk Murphy (Minced Oath/Sunken Foal) are building a live computer music performance system capable of infrastructural improvisation. Considering a division of labour across a foreground and background hierarchical scale, the two performers will engage in a sonic dialogue using contrasting textures, energies and structures. The intention is to facilitate an aesthetic aural experience where the juxtaposition of sonic patterns and characters will engender an intense sense of material presence. Many of the tools being used are somewhat crude digital simulations of real world instruments and performance modes, leading to an uncanny familiarity and computational quality that is hard to place.
Exploring digital physical modelling synthesis and interactive algorithmic composition strategies, Brennan and Murphy debuted their collaboration at Open Ear Festival 2025 & we are excited to be its second outing, in support of Brighde Chaimbeul.
