Coupla Triples is a limited-edition release (200 copies) by Australian sound artist MP Hopkins, collecting two minimalist compositions from 2014. The first track, Spins, Groans, Tones, was originally issued as part of a CDR/chapbook set, while the second, Waves, Feedback, Thoughts, is previously unreleased.
Both pieces use a stripped-back compositional approach: random word prompts are interpreted spontaneously using only basic tools—microphone, tape loop, voice recorder, and amp. The result is “three sounds, twice,” arranged with casual precision—hence the title, Coupla Triples.
Recorded on Gadigal land (Sydney), the work reflects Hopkins’ practice of layering voice, feedback, and lo-fi media into subtle, fragmented soundscapes. Quietly experimental and conceptually rich, this release offers a raw, intimate insight into Hopkins' unique sonic world.
