Eternal Equinox by mike cooper
These pieces started out as simple improvisations on my virtual pedal steel inspired by the compositions of Kevin Good played by pedal steel guitar player Matt Sargent on their record Trails.
Simple melodic minimalistic pieces.
Eventually as I listened back to my improvisations other textures and timbre suggested themselves and more complex compositions came to light.
Mike Cooper / Chang Mai January 2025.
