About this concert
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!

Erland Cooper Biography
Erland Cooper is an award winning, multi-instrumentalist and producer who was born and raised on the archipelago of Orkney, Scotland.
Exploring a balance between alternative, electronic and classical music, his debut solo project began as a gentle response to ease anxiety and claustrophobia working in a large city - setting out to create a sense of balance and calm for both him and the listener, while connecting identity, memory and place through music and cinematography.
When creating music, Erland believes it often reflects the landscape a musician is surrounded with in some small way, be it rural, urban, real or imagined. Rich in folklore, music, myth and mythology, Orkney has strong Scandinavian influences that are echoed and layered throughout his arrangements.
Previous projects include The Magnetic North, which blends orchestral arrangement, rock, and electronica and his early work as lead to progressive folk rock band Erland and the Carnival.
Erland owns a London recording studio, which is now home to some of the UK’s most acclaimed leftfield producers, artists and mixing engineers.
He has also scored and produced music for TV & Film in the UK, US and Canada.
