Brìghde Chaimbeul and Dylan Kerr at silent green / Tuesday, 24.9.2024

Brìghde Chaimbeul (pronounced: Bree-chu Chaym-bul) is a leading exponent of experimental Celtic music and the Scottish “smallpipes”, bagpipes with a double-note drone. She has developed a unique way of arranging music for bagpipes that emphasises the rich drones of the instrument, and plays her instrument with enticing virtuosic fluidity.

Her most recent album, Carry them With Us, in collaboration with jazz saxophonist Colin Stetson, has been critically acclaimed and featured in the Guardian, the Irish Times and Dazed & Confused, among others. Scottish smallpipes player Brìghde Chaimbeul is a leading purveyor of experimental Celtic music. Her piping has earned her a BBC Young Folk Award and a BBC Horizon Award.

Her second album Carry Them With Us is an exhilarating weave of rich textural drones, trance atmospheres and instrumental folk traditions. Acclaimed Canadian sound explorer and saxophonist Colin Stetson is a featured collaborator on the record.

Working within improvisation, process composition and just intonation, Dylan Kerr‘s musical output links their research into sacred music and extended vocal techniques. Combining their voice and instruments with electro-acoustic methods, they explore various genres from minimalism and noise, to drone, metal and folk. They also perform under the monikers Baptist Goth and Scorzia.
