Written by Scottish composer and artist Erland Cooper for the women of the Chorus of Opera North, a new live score for the elemental 1928 silent film The Wind receives its world premiere at Sage Gateshead on 24 February 2022.
Watch the accompanying short film to Erland Cooper’s latest project ‘Never Pass Into Nothingness’, the title of which comes from the first stanza of John Keats’ poem Endymion.
For his latest project, Erland Cooper is to ‘plant’ the sole recording on ¼ inch magnetic tape in the soil of his childhood home in Orkney to be dug up in three years time…he has left a trail for anyone to search and find it if they wish.
This month sees the release of Erland Cooper’s final album in his Orkney Triptych series with Hether Blether. Along this journey, Alex Kozobolis has been complimenting Cooper’s creations with stunning film work. This week they will take over the Barbican Instagram.
