Cooper is an outstanding composer and musician. Her style is a subtle, none-the-less impressive example of contemporary feminist music.She is a former member of Henry Cow, David Thomas and the Pedestrians, the Feminist Improvising Group, the Mike Westbrook Orchestra etc.

" This music provides me with everything I am addicted to and enjoy: the giddy beauty of romantic and modern classics from Berliot to Berio, the immediacy of new jazz and the smell of pop in progressive rock. In all, it's a ball of humour, diversity and critical engagement." (Bad Alchemy 2/85)

" An important figure in the British 'crossover-avantgarde', gives us an exciting cross-section of the 80's. Bizarre Easy Listening, orchestrated and served sometimes with humour, sometimes with a shot of social criticism, always with British understatement." (Collibri 10/92)
