Innovator, award winning, multi-instrumentalist Malin Lewis melds Scottish West
coast tradition with a newly invented, self-made bagpipe alongside acclaimed
Scandinavian Låtmandola player Marit Fält. Together they weave hair tingling,
philosophical and dance inducing melodies with European folk traditions, queerness and the universe.
Having toured across the UK, Canada and Europe, Malin released their celebrated
debut album 'Halocline' in May 2024 on Hudson Records. A Halocline is a visible
layer that forms between salt and fresh water and is home to a unique microbial
ecosystem. Malin's unique timbre is born from the deep connection that comes
from making and composing for their own instrument. Their one of a kind two-
octave Smallpipe creates a whole new world of sound, captivating audiences at
every opportunity.
Recently Malin has been recording music for The Outrun starring Saoirse Ronan,
composing for contemporary dance and theatre and has been learning the tradition
of the extinct Finnish Bagpipes.
Born of Swedish and Norwegian parents, Marit grew up playing a myriad of
instruments from Låtmandola to Swedish bagpipes. She graduated from Newcastle
University before going on to perform across the country with some of the folk
world's most exciting bands.
