British Sea Power are recording a new soundtrack for Man Of Aran, Robert J. Flaherty's 1934 'docufiction' on life in the Aran Islands.
Half Irish on his father's side, the American filmmaker's CV also include Nanook Of The North, Elephant Boy and Louisiana Story.
Along with a live performance next spring in the British Film Institute, the score will also grace the DVD re-release of the movie, which is currently being arranged by Flaherty's estate.
A live performance of the soundtrack was played along to The Man of Aran during the Edinburgh Film Festival in The Caves.
Watch a somewhat dodgy bootleg of the recording here:
