Virga III is the third installment in Eluvium's inspired experimental series - and the first in almost five years.

In stark contrast to the dense, menacing expanse of Virga II, the works comprising Virga III offer an almost divine respite.
The nervous tension, loss of control, and patient recontextualization that inspire each installment of the Virga series manifest themselves in a unique way.
The songs on Virga III were, as always, composed and performed by Cooper, but within the Virga universe, he essentially experiences a unique collaboration with himself.
As Cooper explains: “The Virga series gives me the opportunity to return to an older version of myself, but with a new understanding.
I am practicing greater patience in dealing with these constructed musical systems and recordings, tentatively duetting with my former self on a new performance or manipulative level, but only after digesting the first one for as long as possible, until it evokes new and unknown feelings, in the hope of developing a sense of therapeutic self-awareness and discovery.” A mixture of exploratory thinking and a picturesque emotional resonance that gradually unfolds into itself.
