ERLAND COOPER

Erland Cooper is a Scottish composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist originally from Stromness, Orkney. His work combines field recordings with traditional orchestration and contemporary electronic elements. Through music, words and cinematography he explores landscape, memory and identity. Cooper was commissioned to create the original music for the soundtrack of the Superbloom installation at the Tower of London in honor of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. He is famous for burying the only existing copy of the master tape of his first classical album in Scotland, erasing all the digital files and leaving behind only a treasure hunt of clues for fans and his record label to search for them. The tape was recently found. On October 29, Erland will be in PAARD!
