Unclassified Live: Erland Cooper with the 大象传媒 Philharmonic at Aerial Festival
Elizabeth Alker introduces Erland Cooper in concert with the 大象传媒 Philharmonic Orchestra at the Aerial Festival in Ambleside.
Elizabeth Alker presents a very special episode of Unclassified recorded at Aerial Festival in Ambleside, Cumbria. She鈥檒l be on stage at St. Mary鈥檚 Church to introduce a unique concert which sees Erland Cooper teaming up with the 大象传媒 Philharmonic Orchestra for a reimagining of his latest work 'Carve The Runes Then Be Content With Silence', featuring solo violinist Freya Goldmark.
At forty years of age, Erland has already established himself as one of the leading voices in a new generation of neoclassical composers, with albums like Solan Goose and Sule Skerry establishing his trademark sound, steeped in the sea-swept rhythms and atmospheres of his Orkney home. For his latest album 'Carve The Runes', he explores themes of time and decay through a compositional process that involved burying the master tapes of the album in the ground and leaving clues for intrepid fans to find them and release them into the world.
To listen on most smart speakers, just say: 鈥淎sk 大象传媒 Sounds to play Unclassified.鈥
