  • Remembering Together Moray is a project created with the Moray community involving events, music and story, providing a space for collective reflection about Covid-19. The soundwalks designed by Lucie saw both local residents and visitors to the region coming together to immerse themselves in the voices, sounds and music of Moray while reflecting upon the shared experience of the global pandemic.

    Recorded in chip shops, monasteries, and primary schools, the sound piece was devised by Lucie, featuring musical contributions from the local community.

    The piece features original composed music by Lucie Treacher, a fiddle tune written especially for the project by Duncan Chisholm and Hamish Napier, a clarsach tune written by Fiona Kyle during the pandemic, a bothy ballad and various traditional folk tunes and repertoire from the local area and beyond. Lucie worked with musicians and captured performances from Speyside Care Home choir, Moray Brass band, members of the Gaelic choir, Dan Ralph the Clavie King, piper Calum Stewart, step-dancer Sophie Stephenson, and clarsach player Fiona Kyle (and her dog Guide-dog Gus), recorded at Fleming hall with the assistance of Phil Wiles and Blaire Mackenzie.
