Beginning in 2018, Coppice shifted its focus to devices of capture (cameras and microphones) rather than musical instruments. Regarding technologies that promise fidelity toward what they represent, this study questioned mediation and framing through technological Phonography & Fiction. Simultaneously, this study stands as a self-reflexive investigation of Coppice’s previous two studies, which are retrospected through the Yerkes Observatory, a historic site in Williams Bay, WI. In audio papers and lectures, narrations of Coppice’s 11-year working cycle (2009-2020) are addressed to a hypothetical listener. In a 16-channel sound installation and its binaural capture, spatiotemporal fragments of that cycle are reconfigured and diffused in an hour-long compendium of audio specimens. The compositional trajectory of this study unfolded from poetic audiovisual vignettes, to narrative scripts, to layered nesting of spaces and times in various formats. Coppice was founded by Noé Cuéllar and Joseph Kramer in Chicago in 2009. For more information visit coppice.futurevessel.com #abstractmusic #experimentalmusic #noise #electroacoustic #sonicfiction
