Dates and times
After a tumultuous past few years, spanning giddy
creative highs and profound troughs of ill-health, the Scandinavian-born,
Scottish-based multi-instrumentalist Marit Fält describes her New Voices
composition, Irrationalities, as “an
uncensored stream of consciousness”, charting these thrills and terrors while
reflecting on their personal and artistic impact. Best known through her award-winning
duo with fiddler Rona Wilkie – recent co-composers of a new live score to
Norwegian silent movie Laila - Fält
has drawn on both cross-genre and cross-cultural influences, seeking to promote
discussion of mental health issues among the folk community. She features here
mainly on mandola, leading an eight-piece ensemble of strings, accordion and
clarinet.
