BIO: 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.

Here are two videos from the upcoming Ian Cooke DVD!

'Kursk' directed by Vincent Comparetto.
'Vasoon' Directed by Zach Putnam.

Your musical frequencies and vibrations are sensed through my body as vortexual tremors in my heart after having travelled through my infinitely complex network of nerves, tissues, marrow, blood, and brain matter. It's as if the Source were singing and I am hearing one of it's multitudinous voices. Thanks! :)

Your voice and 'strumentation has stuck me since the first listen. I hope the wonderful musics will keep flowing, and your voice will keep ringing here often falsetto but always rich. The cello will dance along. It is a little lonely get-together listening to your music. The emotional kind but without the alcohol. I treasure it.

er,

Ian I love you!
You came on my itunes right now.
It was a good moment.

I'm still working over at triple j, I'm on during the day now woohoo! No more overnights.

And I'm going on my very first tour this year. Next year I will SURELY fly to you and we'll wow the masses and someone will film it and it will go viral and get 13,000,000 hits on youtube.com

So see you then.
