This album mixes different recording positions in space, forming flattened perspectival documents of dispersed action.

Track 1 composed in 2011 for prepared shruti box, electronics, and acoustic filters. Track 2 composed in 2011 for Apiary, electronics, acoustic filters, and Vinculum BK-1 E1.01 019:48. Track 3 composed in 2009 (shruti box and free reed solo), and arranged for duo with tape processes in 2010.

Tracks 1 and 3 were recorded live at the Joseph Bond Chapel, University of Chicago on September 6, 2011, including room recordings by Greg O’Drobinak.

Track 2 was recorded live at the Packer Schopf Gallery in Chicago on November 20, 2011.

The Apiary is an instrument designed and built for Coppice by Andrew Furse in 2011, a double-feeder, double bellows free-reed aerophone. It contains two independent/identical air reservoirs with interchangeable reed-board tops. Sounds are obtained by opening small wooden slides that cover holes directly above block-mounted reeds. The feeder bellows are hand pumped and fill opposing wedge-shaped reservoirs pressurized by spring force. The air chest constitutes a near entirety of the instrument where all bellows and reed-boards are mounted. Folding legs allow the Apiary to be easily transported and played either sitting or standing. Construction details can be found at coppice.futurevessel.com/andrew-furses-apiary/

Composed by Noé Cuéllar & Joseph Kramer.

Thank you to Aron Packer, Bruno Duplant, and Pedro Chambel.

Side effects:

"something of a contrast to the duo’s wider interests, pitch was almost solely at the fore, mustered into varying kinds of purity and/or clusters." –Simon Cummings, 5:4 (2015)
