“Coupla Triples”

Coupla Triples is a collection of two recordings made by MP Hopkins in 2014. The first piece, “Spins, Groans, Tones,” was previously self-released as part of a CDR/chapbook edition, while the second piece “Waves, Feedback, Thoughts,” has remained unreleased until now. Both pieces were created using a simple compositional method, in which random word prompts were selected from a list of sounds and “interpreted’ in an immediate manner with only basic recording equipment — a microphone, a tape loop, a voice recorder and an amp. Three sounds, twice. Arranged carelessly but carefully. A coupla triples, nothing fancy. Recorded and mixed on the land of the Gadigal people, Sydney, 2014. Pressing info: 200 copies, black vinyl, A2 poster.
