If you look at the art aesthetic of Ian Cooke’s videos, drawings and photos you’ll notice a theme: Dinosaurs. His logo is that of a star with various dinosaur bones, his animated features a little running long neck dinosaur (probably a Brontosaurus or something) and his band photo has the musicians standing around, you guessed it, bones.
With that theme in mind, and Visit Denver invited Ian Cooke to the home of the dinosaur bones, the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, for its third Denver Sounds video.
Cooke performs a solo take on “Quetzalcoatlus” (which we’re not even going to attempt to pronounce or phonetically spell because he does it in the video) with the Denver skyline off in the distance. While the performance has a certain unearthed beauty to it, we’re most impressed that Cooke is able to find something that rhymes with “Quetzalcoatlus.”
“Music and all kinds of artists sort of just flourish here,” Cooke says in an interview with host Julia Mendiolea.
Did we also mention that his whole upcoming album, is dinosaur-themed, too?
