A 2024 short film following Erland Cooper’s buried, slowly decaying album tape in Orkney, exploring patience, art, and impermanence.
Under two feet of peaty soil in Orkney, lies the only recording of Scottish composer Erland Cooper’s unheard album. In an entirely unique attempt to collaborate with the natural world, it would be an experiment on patience, art and value. Will the tape emerge silent, and does it matter if it does? Recomposing Earth takes you into the mind of an artist and the magic of the Orkney Islands that inspire him, with a story that reminds us of music's importance as an expression of the human condition. With interviews including Paul Weller and Sir Ian Rankin. Dir. Christian Cargill, UK, 2024, 28 mins, Trailer - https://youtu.be/qlEmdDjZnIM This is a seated event (unreserved).
