Jack Cooper is an interesting case. He first came to the attention of many of us with the band Ultimate Painting, which sounded more like the Velvet Underground’s third album than the Velvet Underground’s third album does. He then created Modern Nature, which added strong beats, Free Jazz, Krautrock, and Celtic folk elements but kept the strummy Indie-Rock melodies. Now he’s come out with a microtonally droning chamber piece called Arrival, to be performed this evening. What’s next? Bassist Peter Kerlin, meanwhile, is part of a pool of local musicians for whom that kind of mix is just the musical world they live in.
