Return / Introduction by Sophie Cooper
Sophie Cooper is a sound artist who Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival (HCMF) refer to as “A crucial member of Yorkshire’s far-reaching experimental music scene”. Sophie’s practice pivots around new presentations of acoustic instrumentation (primarily the trombone) with electronics, challenging conventions around composition, text placement and performance.
