Chris Abrahams + Mike Cooper - Oceanic Feeling Like (Download)

“The sea pronounces something, over and over, in a hoarse whisper; I cannot quite make it out.”  ~Annie Dillard

It’s this musical whisper that is amplified on Oceanic Feeling-Like, as Italian based musician Mike Cooper and Australia’s Chris Abrahams unite for the first time to create what can only be described as a picturesque horizon of melodic ocean swell.

Stretching out horizon-wide, Oceanic Feeling-Like is generously coloured with Cooper’s unique guitar approaches and Abrahams distinctive piano motions. Both musicians bring with them a wealth of technique and improvised flare that is brought to bear over a series of island-like compositions, that eventually form an unusually divergent sound archipelago.

Recorded in Sydney at Abrahams’ home studio, each of the pieces explores a unique post-marine sound space – that’s both reflective and reflexive.

Truly a release that ebbs and flows in the best way imaginable. An ocean of sound awaits - sometimes calm and flowing, occasionally choppy and unexpected, but always experiential.
