Erland Cooper: Carve the Runes Then Be Content With Silence
Freya Goldmark and ACME with Clarice Jensen

Erland Cooper is a Scottish composer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist originally from the Orkney Islands. He has released several acclaimed albums, including a trilogy inspired by his childhood home and themes of nature, people, place, and time. He performs regularly at the Barbican Centre in London, has been commissioned by the BBC Philharmonic, and created a soundtrack for the Superbloom installation at the Tower of London celebrating The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. His work combines field recordings with traditional orchestration and contemporary electronic elements. Through music, words, and cinematography he takes listeners on a journey through landscape, memory, and identity.
In May 2021, Erland planted the only existing copy of the master tape of his first classical album, Carve the Runes Then Be Content with Silence, in Orkney, deleting all digital files and leaving only a treasure hunt of clues for fans and his record label Decca/MKX to search for it. For his debut US tour, Erland will reveal the unearthed tape from the soil, performing the album exactly as it sounds from the earth alongside violin soloist Freya Goldmark and ACME, with additional works from his trilogy of albums inspired by the landscapes of Orkney.
