✨ About Me ✨ I create under two worlds:

🎶 NIRVĀN – Ambient electronic music producer exploring deep atmospheres, harmony, and sound as a doorway into presence. My tracks are meant to carry listeners inward — into stillness, beauty, and reflection.

😂 MC Happy – Satirical spiritual comedy, poking fun at the sometimes absurd side of the spiritual world. Humor is my way of pointing to truth while keeping things light.

Both projects come from the same root: the search (and non-search) for meaning, joy, and connection. Whether through soundscapes or laughter, my work is about opening a space where you can feel a little more human, a little more free.

Max Cooper is an electronic composer, multi-disciplinary artist, music label founder and former scientist who has carved out a unique space in music and visual art.

He holds a PhD in computational biology at the same time as being the first contemporary electronic musician to perform at the ancient Acropolis theatre in Athens and one of the first clutch of musicians to produce in Dolby Atmos.

Cooper has enquired for over 15 years through music, collaborations, and his label Mesh, to explore the intersections between the arts and sciences with installations, performances, immersive experiences, online media, music videos and live events.  Anchored throughout is his emotive approach, connecting how ideas and forms feel, in a manner accessible to us all. 
 
As an artist synonymous with the evolution of club culture, Cooper honed his craft as a DJ with a 10 year residency at legendary Midlands techno event Firefly where he formed a foundational relationship with Architecture Social Club, with whom he still collaborates on extravagant immersive installations.

"I want to encourage the acceptance of electronic music as an art form like any other. Bringing electronic music and abstract audio-visual projects into concert halls, museums and galleries is liberating - the art world opens up doors to communicate in ways that aren’t possible elsewhere."
  
Pivoting from computational biology to electronic music might not seem like the most natural career transition, but for Cooper the commonalities are obvious:
 
"In both fields, you're in a sense, free. Free from the limits of living systems, free from the limits of corporeal sound. The only constraints are in your mind."
