Malin Lewis
Multi-Instrumentalist - Producer - Teacher - Composer - Instrument Maker - Innovator
Malin Lewis is an award-winning piper, fiddler, composer and instrument-maker from Moidart 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 has a first class degree from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland and took an ERASMUS sojourn at Helsinki’s Sibelius Academy (exploring everything from extinct Finnish bagpipes to free improvisation). Recent projects include an all-improvised collaboration with beatboxer extraordinaire Jason Singh, recording pipes and fiddle for the soundtrack of Amy Liptrot’s ‘The Outrun’ and a Piping Live! double bill with genre-busting New York outfit Blarvuster.
