Mercury KX

Erland Cooper is a Scottish multi-instrumentalist and contemporary composer originally from Stromness, Orkney. He has released three acclaimed albums inspired by his childhood home and themes of nature, birds, community, and landscape. His work connects identity, memory, and place through music, words, and imagery. Cooper collaborates with well-known artists and writers to further explore these themes. Additionally, he works on mixed media projects including installation art, theatre, and film.

Mercury KX is a post-classical label that was officially launched in February 2017 by Solomon Grey in London, UK. With a focus on innovative and boundary-pushing music, Mercury KX has quickly established itself as a leading force in the industry.

The label prides itself on working with *Solomon Grey* and other talented artists who are pushing the boundaries of classical music. Through their unique blend of traditional instruments and electronic elements, these artists create captivating and emotive soundscapes that resonate with listeners.

Mercury KX is committed to providing a platform for these groundbreaking musicians to share their art with the world. By embracing experimentation and artistic freedom, the label continues to push the boundaries of what classical music can be, attracting a diverse audience who appreciate its forward-thinking approach.

Erland Cooper shares a new mesmerising ambient album to be listened to while growing your own flowers and plants. The Scottish modern classical / ambient composer creates a hypnotic sonic embrace for thinking about our relationship with nature, blending the sounds of piano, harp, cello, violin and vocals with atmospheric electronics. Nodding to impressionist painting techniques, he intends for the listener to hear new textures upon each listen.

The album’s A Side is the commissioned soundscape for Superbloom, an installation of 20 million newly sown flowers at the Tower of London, to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. The music amplifies the installation’s emotional impact, including for the visually-impaired, by rebalancing the dominant city noises and intertwining specific audio frequencies to uncover harmony in the most bustling of environments. The B Side features further entrancing atmospheric tracks vivid with dreamy melodies for piano, harp, cello, violin and vocals.
