Re: Wild Music on BBC R4 with Erland Cooper and John Burnside by Andy B on Tuesday, 07 January 2020

Erland Cooper recorded part of his his track First of the Tide single inside Cuween Hill chambered cairn, using the cairn as a natural echo chamber for playing back the main synth line. The track also features field recordings of the tide coming in, seagulls and a fortuitously recorded fishing boat which joins in the same tone and key, which is hard to hear as it's so well blended in. The track is is a collaboration with electronic artist and producer Benge whose PolyMoog 1975 provided the ethereal sounds.

There is more music inspired and featuring ancient and prehistoric sites in our mega thread here:
