with Sophie Cooper. ‘Prog Land’, disastrous A-Levels, and babies learning music.

First broadcast 24 September 2020

Sophie Cooper is a musician, who was nominated in 2020 for an Ivor Novello Composer Award. Sophie tells me about her unfinished art installation. It’s called “Prog Land” and it’s a model of a theme park based on prog rock album covers. We also talk about how Sophie overcame a disastrous A-level music course, about her terrific work for the DIY music scene, about how babies can learn music, and about how she made a robot and a dinosaur destroy Hawaii.
