This lanky pushover makes art for your ears using his cello and voice as core instruments for songwriting. Components of his style are pulled from classical music, pop, folk, avant-garde, world music, and jazz. Cooke’s recordings also employ piano and percussion. The piano was his first instrument, which he began playing at age 5, and picked up the cello at age 11. In a live setting, he accompanies himself using a loop pedal to layer his cello. Paying special attention to innovative meter, chord progression, and melody, the Denver-based musician breeds a truly original and moving type of music. Now-a-days he’s not playing many shows due to focus on recording. The long overdue full-length album – The Fall I Fell – is entering its final stages and will be out in mid March. The process is taking a lot more time than expected – as many things do. Thanks for listening.
