I love to sing, play, compose, arrange voices, improvise, and learn new styles of sound-making in as many ways as possible!

“Emotionally compelling and almost animalistic; a siren’s call luring the guitar from the narrowing path.
”

— Mr Olivetti, FREQ

“Cooper and Westbrook are in the process of reimagining and reshaping the traditions within which they operate.”

— Jonty Watt, THE CUSP

Some of my COmpositions

Vocal expansions

A song about my lack of clarity. It can be confusing but that’s just my vibe ok

Inspired by a short play I wrote for 28 Plays Later (Theatre Delicatessen). Wailing Whales in a plastic world.

Collaboration with composer James Oldham.

Theatre music devising

I love to work with directors, performers, and live artists to help co-create their musical ideas for live performance. Becuase of my devising knowledge, I can help bring the push-and-pull of devising, to the making of music for live shows.

“Bits” with Sonia jalaly and ruby thompson

I worked in the rehearsal space, to-ing and fro-ing with actors and music, for the R&D for this silly, charming, playful piece about women and their “bits”.
