Friday night live at Transistor: physical modeling and modular synthesis from Coppice. Sound by Jon Monteverde.

Coppice is nexus.

Excerpt of live performance for prepared pump organ, three tape processes, transmitters, microphonic oscillator, and plastic tubing; performed on April 19, 2013 at Transistor Chicago.

Since its foundation in 2009, we have departed from bellows and electronics to create compositions, installations, discography, instruments, arrangements for performance, software, and sculptural objects. Drawing from its expanding glossary of study, we’re currently focused on expansions and emulations of our sonic foundations (in bellows and electronics) using a newly designed musical infrastructure that departs from physical modeled instruments and modular synthesis. Coppice is currently transitioning onto a new world of finer sonic illusions of digitally-seeded air, binary clocks, and impossible musical objects.

For this Transistor set, Coppice presented new songs that expanded its foundations in bellows and electronics onto physical modeling and analogue syntheses.
