Erland Cooper is a Scottish composer, producer & multi-instrumentalist originally from Orkney. As a solo artist, he has released five acclaimed studio albums, with multiple companion LPs & EPs, including a trilogy of work inspired by his childhood home, as well as themes of nature, people, place & time. His work combines field recordings with traditional orchestration & contemporary electronic elements. Through music, words and cinematography he explores landscape, memory & identity. He develops these themes further by partnering with artists, writers and poets. Cooper also works across mixed media projects including installation art & film. He’s widely known for burying the only existing copy of the master tape of his first classical album in Scotland, deleting all digital files & leaving only a treasure hunt of clues for fans and his record label alike to search for it. The tape was found, unearthed and released in 2024 reaching number 1 in the official classical album charts.
