Our residency project on the isle of Eigg has spanned THREE series, each with three releases on limited-edition vinyl or cassette, and digital download


 

THE RESIDENCY

Artists are invited to spend one week in solitude in a bothy on the Isle of Eigg, located in the inner Hebrides of Scotland. Lost Map provides recording equipment and instruments, and artists bring whatever they want with them. No specific remit - just freedom to experiment and create the music they fancy making.

Continuing with our series in 2022, we have upsized to the spacious confines of St Franny’s Bothan, allowing room for collaboration as well as solo-ventures. The guests for this run will be EMMA KUPA, MAKENESS and ALLIYAH ENYO.


 

visitations: The MUSIC

Lost Map is releasing the music created for V I S I T ▲ T I O N S across a series of EPs. You can support our project by purchasing the EPs individually or as a series package (3 x 12” vinyl EPs, or 3 x cassette tapes).
