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. Thanks for listening.
