A musical journey through the age of dinosaurs
Though most often referred to as 'unique and endearing,' it has been well-documented for the past decade that songwriter/performer Ian Cooke is much more; a creative force to be reckoned with. New album, Antiquasauria raises the bar to delight Cooke's most fervent supporters with its scientific influence and genre-derying musical scope. Summoning Mesozoic creatures over the course of 10-songs and 40-minutes, Antiquasauria is a journey spanning nearly 100 million years and showcasing a vast diversity of life. Inspired by Holst's The Planets, and fueled by a recent collaboration with a modern dance company; Antiquasauria is a cerebral and primal musical synthesis celebrating life before history. Produced by Ian O'Dougherty, engineered by Chris Fogal, and featuring arrangements by Cooke and his band.
