An archaeology of the dump and opera of pop-up pastorals, published in book form by Atelos Press: with a sequel in progress surrounding the wiring, piping, exploitation and afterlives of copper: SMOKEPENNY LYRICHORD HEAVENBRED. This is a diptych project.

This book's outtakes include virtually accessible pop-up pastorals in a few places; audio in more than one place; pop-ups transformed into scores for PARK, &  tiny bits filmed in Paris (in 2 parts), and here and here.
