Chamber Music Scotland is delighted to announce the release of ‘Cladach / Mullach’ the debut album from Peaks - Out 25th Sep 2026.

Peaks is a musical partnership between violinist George Smith and cellist Duncan Strachan, founder members of the Maxwell Quartet, Incorporating both electronic and acoustic mediums, Peaks weaves together an eclectic range of musical strands, with much of the duo's work focusing on aspects of Scottish traditional culture, recontextualised in a post-minimalist and post-modernist aesthetic.

‘Cladach / Mullach’ is a two-part musical reflection on folk tales and legends from various parts of the Western Isles of Scotland. Blending string textures, traditional music forms, Gaelic song and storytelling, the album features guest vocals from acclaimed piper Brìghde Chaimbeul. Smith and Strachan have taken this story and woven together a magical 50-minute soundscape which describes the landscapes of the western isles, both bleak and beautiful, through music. Incorporating traditional music forms and post-minimalist string textures, the piece is a mesmerising journey which reflects on tradition, the passing on of stories and the connection of music to the land.
