About

Coop a Loop is the solo project of Philadelphia bass virtuoso Eric Cooper. After years of bringing tight bass and deep pocket playing to ensembles across Philly, Coop a Loop has brandished a looper and become the ensemble himself, maintaining a focus on melody and electronic bass guitar music that defies any expectation from a “looping bass player”. 

Sure, you hear the hallmarks of contemporary bass-forward excellence: ultra-clean slap and double-thumb techniques, smooth and tight fingerstyle work, and enough funk to give anyone a serious case of Stank Face. Focus on that too much, however, and you might miss the driving rhythms, synthy laser beams, and ambient textures generated through a series of cleverly-utilized effects. Coop a Loop’s music is a blend of electronic, funk, jam, indie, and ambient music.

His sound is not only unique, but the visual aspect of watching loops being created and hearing these soundscapes take shape is exciting to witness, whether solo or with his band. Coop a Loop’s live performances are electric, igniting the crowd with high-energy grooves and irresistible rhythms that keep everyone dancing all night.
