Recomposing Earth
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.
By kind permission of Kate Bush and in aid of War Child we will be screening her short animation ‘Little Shrew (Snowflake)’ before each film across our main festival programme.
