In January 2025, following a project supported by Music to Come, the experimental duo Copper Sounds spent two weeks in the house of Sonoscopia (Porto) developing mechanical instruments and collaborating in the basement with Sonoscopia’s resident musicians. Through countless improvised sessions they gradually shaped new music—constructing frames, experimenting with mechanisms, and refining their new sonic devices. These 2 weeks culminated in 3 live performances across Porto and from April 2025, Gustavo Costa and Henrique Fernandes will join Copper Sounds for 4 live dates across the UK.

Copper Sounds are an artist duo who use traditional and contemporary processes to explore the physical and visual nature of sound.They see sound as a malleable material and have a unique way of working with and manipulating sound, through designing and making sonic objects which they play live.

Sonoscopia is a space for reflection and creation, open to different ways of thinking and acting, and that’s where its strength resides. Throughout all these years the team have been doing an effort to create a space where artists related with experimental, improvised and electroacoustic music could share ideas and develop consistent work in a physical space that gathers all the technical and human conditions needed. They believe this dynamic allows Sonoscopia to grow and it creates a frame where local and international creators participate to construct a network, creating an ever growing sense of community.
