Colin Stetson and Brìghde Chaimbeul come together on All the Light in the World, a collaborative album that feels both ancient and immediate. Built from deep listening,

improvisation, and an instinct for emotional intensity, the record merges Stetson's innovative

approach to the saxophone with Chaimbeul's singular command of the Scottish small pipes,

creating music that drifts between drone, ritual, and cinematic expanse. For nearly two decades, Colin Stetson has stood as a distinctive voice in contemporary music,

known for pushing the saxophone beyond conventional form through circular breathing,

percussive mechanics, and multiphonics. His work spans acclaimed solo records, collaborations

with artists across experimental and independent music, and celebrated film and television

scores including Hereditary, The Menu, and Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen.

Brìghde Chaimbeul has emerged as a leading force in the revival and reimagining of Celtic folk

traditions. Rooted in the language and musical heritage of the Isle of Skye, her work with the

Scottish small pipes transform traditional forms into hypnotic, minimalist compositions that feel

timeless and exploratory at once. Her recent recordings have earned international acclaim for

their emotional depth and fearless approach to tradition. Together, the pair create a sound that is elemental and transportive: waves of breath, reed,

resonance, and silence unfolding in real time. All the Light in the World captures the rare

chemistry between two artists who approach folk and experimental music not as fixed genres,

but as living, evolving languages.

In September 2026, Stetson and Chaimbeul will bring this collaboration to North America for a

run of live performances supporting the album. The tour promises immersive and deeply

physical performances that blur the line between concert, composition, and ceremony,

presenting All the Light in the World in it's most immediate form.
