Malin Lewis - Halocline

About Malin Lewis - Halocline

Malin Lewis is a queer bagpiper, fiddler, instrument maker and award winning composer.

One of Scotland’s most exciting innovators, Malin melds west coast tradition with a newly invented, self-made bagpipe. Their hair-tingling, philosophical and dance-inducing melodies are inspired by European folk traditions, humans, queerness and the universe.

Having performed in Canada, Europe and across the UK, Malin releases their long awaited debut album Halocline in Spring 2024. Halocline began as a New Voices commission for Celtic Connections and was premiered to a sold out Strathclyde Suite, Glasgow Royal Concert Hall in 2023.

Malin's unique sound is born from the deep connection that comes with making and composing for their own instrument. Joined by Ali Hutton (guitar) and Sally Simpson (fiddle) Malin plays highland pipes, fiddle and a newly invented two octave bagpipe that creates a whole new world of sound. Malin will perform a selection of pieces from Halocline as well as brand new, never before heard music.
