Blair Coron

Das sagt der/die Künstler:in:

Blair Coron is a musician and poet from Springfield, a small village in Scotland. His quiet and intimate music blends modern classical, storytelling and traditional melodies, with themes of nature, people, time and place. Through music, words and cinematography, Coron's primary intention is to create enchanting atmospheres that sets course for introspection and connection to the landscapes surrounding us. 

After the success of his debut album 'On the Nature of Things', Coron recently released his second album and accompanying film ‘Cairn', in collaboration with the School of Scottish Studies Archives and National Trust for Scotland, funded by Creative Scotland. It is a celebration of Scottish heritage, a thank you to all it has given so far, containing new music set to archival interviews of those living in the Highlands and Islands during the early 20th century discussing local legends, childhood reminiscences and traditions long forgotten. 

Following this, he was further commissioned by Edinburgh University and the School of Scottish Studies Archives to help curate a new exhibition made to enhance viewers' experiences and connections to visual and audio materials from the Scottish Archives. This is 'A Carrying Stream', of which the music for was also released separately as an EP.

Currently, Coron is embarking on his first mainland EU tour, composing his next studio album and also an EP of traditional Scottish music.
