Renzo Spiteri

A musician, composer and sound artist, Renzo Spiteri has performed at festivals across the world, working between England and Malta. He is now based in Shetland, whose landscape inspired his latest project, Stillness, described as “an immersive live performance that takes audiences on a journey through the different textures of darkness and light”. We talk to Renzo about how island life has inspired his work, and whether it has a new resonance since the lockdown. The episode is hosted by Hebridean Dark Skies Festival programmer Andrew Eaton-Lewis.  The sound was mixed by Hamish Brown. Campfire Conversations is presented in association with The Scotsman. Renzo will premiere a brand new sound piece, Under Dark Blue Skies, as part of this year's Hebridean Dark Skies Festival. To find out more about the festival, visit www.lanntair.com/darkskies.
