Installations
2019 – Intact, spatial sound piece for the ‘HISS’ system at Huddersfield University. Commissioned by hcmf// Listen here
The Slowest Lift:
Ongoing collaboration with Julian Bradley of Vibracatherdal Orchestra.
Description by Tristan Bath for The Quietus:
“This duo comprises the fruitful collaboration between two of West Yorkshire’s noisy experimental keystones. Sophie Cooper and Julian Bradley have both already spent many a year inverting and interweaving folk and noise tropes under the ‘underground’ umbrella, often in a constantly evolving, and very loose knit collective of residents, visitors, and mates in the Calder Valley. Thus, the solidification of this duo into an ongoing project dubbed The Slowest lift is every bit as organic as one would expect – yet it manages to add a distinct new strand to a widening musical palette.”
