The underground music scene in Melbourne is one of the most vibrant in the world. 
And from this emerges Cocoon, one of it’s most reclusive and underground of artists.
Tony Tralongo aka COCOON has been creating music since the beginning of the 1980’s creating progressive musical pieces comprising vox/pop hymns and floaty atmospheric ideas. This was an indication of his exploration into instrumental music later composed. From his unacceptance to conform to formulas was indicative of his musical shift. Eventually dropping the vocal pop influences and going totally underground. Only to resurface years later as a new multi-instrumentalist with application to film as a visual component for the movement of his musical visions. As COCOON releasing Soundtrack for short film, parts one and two.These electronic insights sees the artist question his own understanding of the musical world and the reality of influences and their natural order.  
In the last few years, Cocoon has gone completely retro. His latest album, titled ‘Spaceship Cocoon’ is a tribute to Krautrock. The diversity of sub-genres explored is astounding and the sky is the limit.
