Erland Cooper Live from Stonehenge

Erland Cooper is a composer from Orkney, a remote Scottish island. His latest album ‘Carve The Runes Then Be Content With Silence’ was recorded three years ago, transferred to analogue 'reel to reel' tape and then buried in the ground somewhere on the isle of Orkney. The digital back up deleted permanently. Three years later it was discovered and dug up, the released recording is layered with texture from years in the earth. You can see the dirt on the tape in this live music film. A recent scientific advance holds that Stonehenge's famous altar stone is made from Old Red Sandstone – specific to the Far North and North East of Scotland. Could Orkney hold the key? This film finds Erland Cooper working with Freya Goldmark on violin and Sergio Serra Lopez on cello as they perform a song from the album.
