Surfside no.2 [excerpt] | mp3

"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 could be described as a picturesque horizon of melodic ocean swell.

Stretching out wide, Oceanic Feeling-Like is generously coloured by Cooper's unique approaches to the guitar and Abrahams' distinctive piano motions. Both bring a wealth of technique and improvised flare, creating 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 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 chopping and unexpected, but always experiential.

"Abrahams relentless and steady patterning started to metamorphose the nature of the piano, the upper chords sounding like a distant locomotive hoot, and then an accordion weaving in and out of a shimmering bank of flutes." THE WIRE, UK
