Recently pushing his musical landscape into new realms with his fourth studio album, Folded Landscapes, Cooper is also blessing the classical-electronic scene with a piano album, set to release in November.

This powerful offers seven sonic movements, unfolding with electronics, poetry, soprano, piano, harpsichord, field recordings and samples.

Speaking on this work of art himself, Cooper explains “I’m interested in the relationship between acoustic spaces, a sense of place, performance and resonance. I hope a listener enjoys these moments on a walk or perhaps as they work, as it slowly thaws in between things. It is finished if listened to with a window or door open, the natural world playing its part to complete it, particularly at dawn or dusk.”

Cooper is more than an artist, he is a dedicated force to to the environment and fostering change.
