Fiona Soe Paing is a Scottish singer, composer and producer, creating dark, mesmerising and evocative sound-worlds, and memorable live experiences.

Rooted in the landscape and rich balladry tradition of northeast Scotland, Fiona’s avant-folk sound re-imagines traditional story and song with experimental electronic production and immersive visuals.

for curious
explorers

And weary adventurers and disoriented time travellers, here is somewhere to linger, listen, ponder, rest, and breathe…

a haven
or a cushion
or a warm pool

to sink
into

And soak up some delicate dust motes from the outermost reaches of the experimental folk universe…
