Sonic Blueprints

Composing music for spatial experience.

Sonic Blueprints, the first book from artist, musician, and disability advocate Will Copps, explores what happens when we compose music not just in time, but in space. Drawing on architectural principles, it introduces and illustrates a new way to design music for the physical and digital worlds we inhabit.

I'm an audio-visual artist and composer in Washington, DC. My work includes installations, films, spatial music applications, photography, and records.

I release spatial work through TCW and make music with Brittany Jean in Wall of Trophies. I also speak about art, creative technology, disability, and the work behind Sonic Blueprints.

I earned a Master of Liberal Arts in Digital Media Design from Harvard University Extension School.
