Title: Tumuli (Premi ering at The Dock)
By: Orla McHardy
< strong>Soundtrack: Eimear Reidy
Runtime: 8 mi n 54 sec

Description:
Tumuli takes its name from the tumulus — mounds of earth and stone raised over graves. A mo und, a heap, a stack: a burial site, a flowerbed in a back garden, a compo st heap, a pile of dirty dishes.

Commissioned in 2022 by Hunter’s Mo on, the film emerged from a collaboration between Orla McHardy and Eimear Reidy for a live event at The Swan Lake Inn, Effrinagh, Co. Leitrim. Drawi ng inspiration from her home and garden, McHardy created the visual world of Tumuli, while Reidy gathered field recordings onsite and composed a mus ical score in direct response to the film’s textures and rhythms.

Mc Hardy, an artist based in the Northwest, works across expanded animation, video, text, documentary, collage, and sculptural installation. Her practi ce often engages questions of value and invisibility, particularly around the hidden time of care, love, and labour.

Title: Land and Brass
By: Nick Farramond
Runtime: 13 min 2 sec

< strong>Description:
Land and Brass documents an exhib ition and body of work commissioned by Culture Coop, bringing together sou nd artist Sophie Cooper and Milnrow Brass Band. First presented at Rochdal e Exchange in June 2025, the project merges experimental sound practices w ith the long-standing brass band traditions of Rochdale and the Pennines.< /p>

Developed with input from a community steering group, the work explo res the meeting point between contemporary composition and local musical h eritage. Inspired by damaged brass instruments at Rath’s Trombones in Hudd ersfield, Cooper reimagined these broken instruments as part of a bespoke sound system — allowing them a final, transformed voice.

The install ation features Echoes and Reclamation, a composition for brass qu intet that draws on the structures of traditional brass writing, reshaped through repetition, distortion, and field recordings tied to Milnrow’s lan dscape. The project also features artistic responses from members of Ebor Studio, supported by The Outlands Network.
