New drama: 'The Blackletter Quartet', a new music ensemble, had an idea: to write and record an album on Stroma, an abandoned island off the north coast of Scotland.Five years after the Quartet's disappearance, 'The Stroma Sessions' - a series of audio files charting the musicians time on the island and the music they created there - were discovered on the internet.Stroma was abandoned in the early 1960s: its few remaining buildings stand dilapidated, battered by the North Sea. The four musicians sought inspiration in the ruined houses and unforgiving weather. They wanted to make music in a ghost town. The evidence suggests they found what they were looking for. The appearance of an unexpected outsider and the mysterious recording at the church have created unease amongst the musicians. Written by Timothy X AtackSound design by Steve BondExecutive producer, Sara DaviesProduced by Nicolas JacksonDirected by Steve Bond'The Stroma Sessions' is an Afonica production for BBC Radio 3.
