Carve the Runes Then Be Content With Silence? Erland Cooper SKU: 3849312 Barcode: 0602438493128 30.00 £30.00 Genre: Classical Label: Mercury KX Released Date: 7th June 2024 Buying Format: 1LP Forthcoming Pre Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info Erland Cooper’s new album Carve the Runes Then Be Content With Silence is set for release in June 2024 – 3 years from the day the only master tape was planted deep into the Orkney soil. The album is a recording of Cooper’s brand new three-movement composition for solo violin and string ensemble. The work marks the centenary of celebrated Orkney poet George Mackay Brown, as 2021 marks 100 years since his birth. Inspired by natural landscapes and ruminating on time, hope, community and patience, the sole recording of the work – on ¼ inch magnetic tape, with the digital files permanently deleted – has been planted to grow and be nurtured or “recomposed” by the earth, before being exhumed and released in three years’ time. Whilst Cooper will not be unearthing the tape until 2024, he has left a trail for anyone to search and find it if they wish. A map with clues to the location of the planting site will be released via his digital platforms. If the planted tape is found, Erland will invite the discoverer to his studio to embark on a journey together for the treasured first listen. It will then be released exactly as it sounds from the earth. Erland Cooper says, “Music can so often feel undervalued and for some, being unable to perform live has at times felt like being buried. When an idea forms there is often an urge to share it as quickly as it develops but like spotting a bird, I want to let this fly and land in its own place and time. The work is one part remembrance and one part celebration of a landmark time.” He adds: “The material on the tape may erode naturally, disintegrate and create drops of silence or the peaty soil may preserve it perfectly well. It may or may not get better with age. I may or may not fall out of favour with my composition. Any alterations to the sound and music [when it comes out of the earth] will be reincorporated into the pages of a new score and live performance, as orchestral articulations.” Artist Erland Cooper Genre Classical Label Mercury KX Buying Options 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country UK Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Erland Cooper View Product Quick View Erland Cooper Carve The Runes Then Be Content With Silence Classical | Mercury KX | 1LP Released 20th September 2024 £30.00 Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders Erland Cooper Carve The Runes Then Be Content With Silence £30.00 Genre: Classical Label: Mercury KX SKU: 6556239 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 20th September 2024 Read More Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Erland Cooper Folded Landscapes Classical | Mercury KX | 1LP Released 5th May 2023 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Erland Cooper Folded Landscapes £26.00 Genre: Classical Label: Mercury KX SKU: 4571286 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 5th May 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Erland Cooper Music For Growing Flowers Classical | Mercury KX | 1LP Released 19th August 2022 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Erland Cooper Music For Growing Flowers £22.00 Genre: Classical Label: Mercury KX SKU: 4555741 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 19th August 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Erland Cooper Hether Blether Classical | Phases | 1LP Released 29th May 2020 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Erland Cooper Hether Blether £16.00 Genre: Classical Label: Phases SKU: PHA013V Formats: 1LP Released Date: 29th May 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Erland Cooper Sule Skerry Classical | Phases | 1LP Released 31st May 2019 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Erland Cooper Sule Skerry £16.00 Genre: Classical Label: Phases SKU: PHA10V Formats: 1LP Released Date: 31st May 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Erland Cooper Solan Goose Classical | Phases | 1LP Released 16th April 2018 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Erland Cooper Solan Goose £17.00 Genre: Classical Label: Phases SKU: PHA001LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 16th April 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more from Erland Cooper Start again More from Classical View Product Quick View Michael Rabin / Paganini Paganini Concerto No.1 in D Major.
