The 'icon of post-everything', Mike Cooper, returns to Discrepant with a recording of a live set recorded at the Controindicazioni Festival of Improvised Music in Rome in 2003 .The music moves very slowly through four movements: Reluctant Swimmer'', Movies is Magic'', Virtual Swimmer'' and Dolphins''.
'Floating in out of the exotic ether and disappearing like smoke, engulfed in the alien hugeness of nature...
a very elegant set by a visionary artist.' Mike Cooper says 'the first half is played on my old 1920s National tri-plate lapsteel guitar and the second half on my vietnamese electric lap steel.
I also sing two songs along the way. Movies is Magic'' by Van Dyke Parks and "Dolphins" by Freid Neil.
It was the first time I had ever sung the last song.'
