Avant-folk producer Fiona Soe Paing is a Scottish vocalist and sound artist. Combining multi-layered vocals with dark electronica, field recordings, archive material and traditional instruments, her music creates atmospheric and often unsettling songscapes.

Sand, Silt, Flint (released November 2022) is Fiona's second solo album, a re-imagining of folk tales and traditional ballads from North East Scotland. Sense of place is an important factor. Fiona has made the innovative step of linking each song to a specific location creating a virtual ‘Ballad Map' where the album is presented as a series of sound-walks via the Echoes phone app. The audio is triggered by GPS, enabling audiences to experience the music in the environments which provided it's inspiration.

The following songs from Sand, Silt, Flint are featured in this podcast:
1 Bessie Bell
2 Bonny Udny
3 Forvie
4 Ballad of John Hosie
