Indie label offering musicians a week in secluded cabin in Scotland to compose music

Music label Lost Map Records is releasing songs recorded by artists in isolation on the tiny Scottish island Eigg, which has about 100 permanent residents. According to the Guardian, Lost Map's residency project Visitations on the isle was started in 2018, attracting musicians such as members of British Sea Power and Jason Lytle, lead singer of Grandaddy. Visitors are set up in a secluded “bothy” cabin, where they are provided with accommodation, supplies, recording equipment and instruments, and have a week to create music inspired by their stay on the island. The results, released on vinyl and as digital downloads, are illustrative of the ideas residents have come up with to generate income as island life changes.
