   About Nuda Veritas
"The title [Nuda Veritas], therefore, aptly fits up and coming electro-acoustic composer/performing artist/singer songwriter Rebecca Kopycinski out of Burlington, whose haunting yet stunningly beautiful vocals and minimalist approach to music force the listener into hearing pure sound: plain and simple. The experience of listening to music can be, under certain circumstances of course, truly transcendent to some; Nuda Veritas attempts to achieve the same transcendence through her music, and surely succeeds. She uses an array of instruments, most notably her voice, looped creatively and methodically to create a sound distinguishable among many." - Pat See, The Deli Magazine

The composer Ned Rorem said, “I compose what I need to hear because nobody else is doing it.” This is very true for Rebecca Kopycinski, aka Nuda Veritas. Part folk, part classical, part experimental, Rebecca seeks to manifest aurally the bittersweet beauty of being human that oftentimes cannot be defined with words alone. The performance ranges from simple songs to epic ones to self-harmonized folk tune arrangements to multi-layered loops featuring bells, violins, guitar, spoken word tapes, and music boxes to a single vocal melody sung over drone (and whatever else she can dream up). This versatility allows Nuda Veritas to adapt to various performance opportunities, sometimes playing complete acoustic sets, other times playing quite a bit of improvised organic electronics, and sometimes a balance of the two.

In 2008, Rebecca was signed to the Aether Everywhere label and has recently released her debut recordings: Songs for Doing Dishes and Still Lives. The limited run of 123 handmade pieces constructed of recycled LP sleeves are available by contacting Rebecca directly nudaveritasmusic(at)gmail(dot)com. See some examples below (these may or may not still be available).

then please book me for Burly Song!! ASAP!! <br />some reason your mail doesn't work. <br /> <br />For "rapture" I hear your voice layered as a chorus, repating like the keyboard refrain, the voices of angels coming to judge the damned. <br />

So, I figured in typical radio bean fashion since your set was scheduled for 11:45PM I should come at 1AM and you would just be getting onstage. I was right, I've hasd a few friend not be able to play there becuase the other bands playing just don't give a fuck about anything or anyone else. Try that at Nectars and you'll be banned. Anyways it wasd a great performance by you and despite the ppeople trying to talk louder than you were singing it sounded great too!! I love what you do, I'm such a huge fan!!

Thank you so much for "bandfriending" us, Nuda Veritas! We truly appreciate it and truly enjoyed the songs.

We hope that you find something of ours that will wriggle into your ears, burrow down next to your heart (in a good way), and compel you to ROB US BLIND (again, in a good way: "Free downloads, ahoy!”…that is, if Myspace ever gets around to reactivating that feature).

If you like us, please, tell a friend.
If you hate us, hell, tell an enemy!

Be well,
GUSSY

GUSSY Loves You
