   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

Quantcast

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 and her musical endeavor, known as Nuda Veritas. This pursuit, of the new and uncharted, serves to provide an outlet for what Rebecca sees as truth, her truth. Toeing the line between pure folk and experimental soundscapes, 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.

Born in Lowell, Massachusetts, Rebecca grew up in an average working class family. After studying classical vocal performance in college, she bought her Taylor and has been writing her own music ever since. She’s lived in Burlington, Vermont for the past six years and doesn’t plan on going anywhere anytime soon.

Since August of 2006, Nuda Veritas has been performing regularly in the Burlington, Vermont area, frequently at the Monkey House in Winooski. Other appearances include those at the Flynn Dog Gallery, the Radio Bean, the Skinny Pancake, and Langdon Street Café. In August of 2007, Rebecca organized a concert at the Battery Park band shell featuring Nuda Veritas, Pale Morning Dun, and the Boston/Portland, ME trio Brown Bird. She hopes to make this concert, called b(e) mused, an annual event. Rebecca played two sets during Burlington, Vermont’s ever-popular Art Hop in 2007, one at the VCAM studio and another in the private studio of artist Jane Horner. Recently, she played in support of folk artist Alela Diane of Portland, OR and local singer-songwriter Jess Clemons at Club Metronome. In December of 2007, she played at Nine 37 Productions’ Five Town Massive at Holley Hall in Bristol, Vermont, a multimedia festival scheduled over four days at the end of each year.

Call it a good guess.
In any case,
I think our sexuality
informs most of our activities,
and that your virtue
is recognizing it.
I especially love
the Bells and Windows song.
Thanks for that.
Hope we cross paths sometime.
Might be touring in June.
Not sure yet.
Perhaps we could visit Vermont.
Will you be around?

We should chill... perhaps make music.
