Abstract
Elucidating the structure of its retrospective triptych Draw Agreement (2023), Coppice (Noé Cuéllar and Joseph Kramer) overviews the techniques driving its musical experimentation between 2009 and 2022. Rich in sound, musical, technological, and listening concepts, these notes serve to accompany the navigation of Coppice’s music as referenced from the three-part construct, while pointing to other related works. Through documentation and metaphor, Coppice’s sonic thinking identifies recurring themes, culminating in a spatiotemporal synthesis of actuality and simulation in an increasing convolution of auditory reflexivity. In parceling this 13-year experimental musical object, Coppice attains and continues building upon an auditory perspective that engages postphenomenological embodiment, shifting spatiotemporal values and creative mediative processes reflective of artistic, technological, and auditory cultures today.
