Brian Cromarty
Using contemporary story of renewable energy for composing musical pieces, Brian considers the context of Orkney Islands and its communities, where renewable energy plays a key role in people鈥檚 sense of place.
Interested in exploring musical avenues outside of live performance, Brian chose to bring the 鈥樷�� story to life by collecting field recordings to build a collection of the natural and industrial sounds that characterise Orkney.
Brian鈥檚 work is a great example of a creative approach to storytelling, or 鈥榗reating鈥� a story. Using a contemporary story of renewable energy, it considers the context of Orkney Islands and its communities, where renewable energy plays a key role in people鈥檚 sense of place. Brian鈥檚 music showcases the co-existence of natural and contemporary man-made features of Orkney, reflecting the links between past, present and future of the island and its people.
