Biography
Malin Lewis is an award-winning piper, fiddler, composer and instrument-maker from Ardnamurchan and Skye. They marry deep traditional roots with adventurous innovation – not least as maker of a unique 2-octave version of the Scottish smallpipes. Malin studied at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, plus took an ERASMUS sojourn at Helsinki’s Sibelius Academy (exploring everything from extinct Finnish bagpipes to free improvisation).
In December 2022 Malin released their debut EP ‘Not For Everyone’ with their band Malin Makes Music featuring three compositions inspired by humans, queerness and the universe. Other recent projects include an all-improvised collaboration with beatboxer extraordinaire Jason Singh, and a Piping Live! double bill with genre-busting New York outfit Blarvuster.
