Cooper-Moore is an instrument-builder/designer based in New York City, whose music is informed by the avant jazz and improvised music communities he regularly performs in since the early 1970s, but is also deeply rooted in the Gospel, Blues, and Bluegrass traditions from his upbringing in rural, segregated Virginia. As part of the Sonified Sustainability Festival, his solo performance will feature handcrafted instruments constructed from found and repurposed materials including diddley-bow, three-string fretless banjo, and mouth bow.
