“Expanse” Despite originally coming from a sound practice based largely on the use of traditional musical instruments, through experimentation with techniques utilising DIY electronics and subverting or ‘hacking’ obsolete technologies (CRT TV’s etc), I arrived at a point where I was generating sound and vision simultaneously in real-time, without the aid of a computer.

By combining many ideas into a singular complex interface, the Vessel has a large range of sounds, incorporating percussion, bowing mechanisms resonant springs and electronic noise. Measuring in at over 3.5 meters in length, the hollow metallic construction of the Vessel creates a unique timbre. The large boat shaped sound chamber covered with strings and idiophones produces an acoustic resonance that is large in scale, a sound that Cooper himself equates to the vast spaces urban underground

“Echo” Echo explores the possibility of the divisibility of motion, dividing the streaming motion of the television static through the act of freezing it into a series of photos. The looped film acts as a device for a continual return of the sequence. The projection is layered with a recording of a heartbeat, amidst the micro radio wave frequencies of the universe, in which our human hearts beat.
