We're delighted to share news of our latest Random Spectacular project, Arun Sood's 'Searching Erskine'.
‘Searching Erskine’ is a 64-page book and 12-track digital album that blurs the boundaries between ambient, modern-folk and contemporary classical, released with an accompanying book that responds to the uninhabited island of Vallay, which lies approximately two miles off the northwest coast of North Uist. On foot, it can only be accessed at low tide across vast tidal sands.
It’s the result of the channelling of voices, original music, oral histories, spectral sounds, and field recordings from the island. This is a project about ruins, land, memory, and the intersections in between.
Our book features visual artwork from artists Emile Kees, Rosalind Blake and Meg Rodger. These sit alongside Arun’s introductory essay, poems and extensive notes exploring the making of the album.
'Searching Erskine' is co-released with our record label Blackford Hill. You can watch and listen to a short introductory film over at the Blackford Hill website.
