Welcome to the Signature Series.

The key signatures of music are kind of like the signs of the zodiac.

If you take all the music in a given key, you’ll discover certain characteristics —﻿ characteristics that can define your personality.

Which key are you? http://bit.ly/whichkeyareyou

The Signature Series was originally produced for CBC Radio 2's In Concert by http://www.soundcloud.com/paolopp with Denise Ball.

Darren Copeland is a Canadian sound artist who has been active since 1985 and lives outside the village of South River (Ontario). His work encompasses multichannel spatialization for live performance, fixed media composition, soundscape composition, radio art and sound installations.

His fixed-media compositions have explored both abstract and referential sound materials. Many of these works are released on the empreintes DIGITALes label. His radio art works engage in the associative qualities of environmental sounds in relation to spoken text and have been commissioned and presented by public radio broadcasters in Canada, the US and Europe. His sound installations include gallery and sited works which examine the relationship of sound and place, including Sound Columns (2011) co-created with Andreas Kahre, and Copeland’s installation Expanded Listening (2014).

Darren Copeland founded New Adventures in Sound Art (NAISA) in 2001. The organization established the NAISA North Media Arts Centre in South River in January 2017 after operating in Toronto for 16 years. The organization presents year round programming that include installations, radio and multichannel concert presentations, artist talks and workshops.

Copeland’s work with NAISA has included his development of multichannel spatialization systems that began in 1999 with the Richmond Sound Design Audiobox and Third Monk Software’s ABControl, and in 2006, a performance-oriented system using the Polhemus Patriot as a gestural controller along with customized software by Benjamin Thigpen.

Darren Copeland is an Associate Composer of the Canadian Music Centre (CMC). He has served on the board of directors for the Canadian Association for Sound Ecology (CASE), the Canadian Electroacoustic Community (CEC), Vancouver Pro Musica, and Rumble Productions. He holds degrees from University of Birmingham (England, UK) and Simon Fraser University (British Columbia, Canada).

I'm a freelance writer, broadcaster, producer and composer based in Vancouver. My audio documentary work includes the series The Wire: the Impact of Electricity on Music, which won a Peabody Award and the Prix Italia.

I currently host a classical music program on CBC Radio 2 called In Concert. Wearing other hats, I created the CBC Radio 3 Bucky Awards, played taiko in the Kiyoshi Nagata Ensemble and was cultural correspondent for CBC TV’s coverage of the 2006 Winter Olympics.

Lately I've been really excited about a new series I'm working on called The Signature Series. Check it out right here on Soundcloud:
