My name is Jonathan Cook. I am a pianist and composer. In addition to making music, I love practicing yoga, and spending time in nature. I’m also a passionate advocate for renewable energy. For years, these passions have been absent from my music. But in this project, I am bringing them together. I record sounds in nature, such as rivers, birds, rain, insects, ocean waves, and more. Then, I combine these sounds with multi-layered electronic music using realistic samples of acoustic instruments and high-quality synthesizers. I use a set of light-weight solar panels and a small battery to power my keyboards, speaker, and computer. I play live music in yoga classes, as well as in solo and collaborative performances.
Aidan is an anglicized form of an old Gaelic name. Originally, my mother planned to name me Aidan, and I have always identified with the name, which means “Little Fire.” Spiritually, fire represents passion, hunger, energy, and motivation. We “burn” for the things we love. Cosmically speaking, the great fire at the heart of our solar system is the sun. My goal as Jonathan Aidan is to harness this great power of the sun; to burn with my passions for yoga, nature, and renewable energy; and to make music for a perfect present, and a better future.
