🎶 Meet the Minds Behind the Myth - a Q & A with Joanna Nicholson 🎻

What happens when Norse folklore meets cutting-edge contemporary music? Aud the Deep Minded brings ancient stories to life through sound.

A Semi-Viking whirlwind! (This is from Andy Saunders the horn player 🎺) I more prosaically went for Viking, Seer, Queen.

The most inspiring part for me so far in collaborating with MiS is the support with just getting in there - you have to just leap in and DO the Fringe!

We would like to take Aud the Deep Minded touring in the Nordic countries, and we definitely want to make a film - we have already made a short promo with , which looks amazing due to the movement and slight distortion in the camerawork. A full length film combining that dynamic style with the projection art developed by .anderson.art would be stunning

🎭 Get to Know the Artists - Muto Major 🎭

We asked this year’s Made in Scotland Showcase artists from Muto Major a few questions about their show, inspirations, and what’s next. Here’s what they had to say…

3️⃣ 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗯𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗱𝘀:
Immersive, folkloric, portal.

💡 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗠𝗶𝗦?
The most inspiring part of collaborating with Made in Scotland has been the opportunity to connect with such a diverse range of powerful and impressive works. It's been energising to exchange ideas with the team and feel genuinely supported throughout the process. We’ve really appreciated the dedication, warmth, and enthusiasm the MiS team brings—it’s made a big impact on our experience, and helped us feel part of something much bigger.

🌍 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁?
We’re really excited by the idea of taking Waxen Figures (or something similar) to an international stage. We'd love to bring a larger-scale version of the show to audiences in places like Scandinavia, Eastern Europe, and the US, where there’s a strong appetite for mythic, genre-blurring performance. We’re also keen to integrate the show into electronic and audiovisual music festivals and nightclub venues—spaces like Berlin, Amsterdam, or London, where live art, sound, and club culture intersect in exciting ways.

3️⃣ 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗯𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗱𝘀:
adventurous, unexpected and surprising

� 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗠𝗶𝗦?
It feels very positive to be in a programme among an inspiring group of Scotland-based peers, and across art-forms. Hopefully we can support each other.

🌍 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁?
Based on Christie's love of the sea: any coastal destinations. Oh and, Japan, are you out there?
