I collaborated with Maotik creating the music for his installation "Flow" an immersive audiovisual that creates images and music with data recovered from live weather stations on certain points on the planet. I patched different devices on Ableton to run by themselves (no recordings) taking the information from the real-time weather conditions via Maotik's own patch. Musical scales, textures, noise and triggers change according to the conditions and time of the day.

FLOW - An Immersive Installation

Second  entry for Native Instruments One Minute Loop Contest

RndStepShifter - Strings - 140bpm

This track came from a big AV project I was working on for the last few years. I worked with many different visual artists and some scientists and mathematicians to tell the story of emergence. For each chapter of the story I created a different piece of music to accompany the visual. This chapter was about the idea of Symmetry, and how it is so important as a basic building block of nature.

You can find out more about the project here: http://emergence.maxcooper.net

And you can see the video for this track here: https://vimeo.com/204736859

Now onto the full description if you would like to find out more...

Symmetry is one of the most fundamental principles of nature, and forms the basis of music. So this music video is an early chapter in the Emergence audio-visual project, where the basic principles of nature are visualised, setting the stage for the physical universe to come into being.

Symmetry is the idea that one aspect of a system can change while another remains constant. The idea of natural laws themselves, rely on the forms of symmetry that mean the same forces will apply to you as they do to me, independently of our position in space or time. And scientists searches for nature’s symmetries lie at the heart of much of our best models of reality.

The principle is also responsible for music, in that our enjoyment of tonality, melody, harmony and rhythm comes from our subconscious appreciation of different types of patterns (i.e. symmetries) in sound waves.

I wanted to visualise the idea that some properties of a system can be changed, while others remain constant.

This gives rise to predictability and patterns in the world around us; things follow the same rules today as they did yesterday, and we stay the same person irrespective of what direction we face or where we are. Symmetries in nature cause what we call natural laws, to exist.
Kevin McGloughlin explored this idea in the video by using simple symmetrical forms (primarily the circle), and symmetrical operations applied to them - rotations, translations and reflections. 

The animation demonstrates the beauty of this simple concept when applied in an iterative journey towards ever increasing complexity, both visually and musically.

Lusine - Tropopause (Loscil Remix)

This is the music I composed for the scene from Black Mirror: Striking Vipers - which I call 'I love this, I love you'. 

It is a short piece of music, but one that for me has a lot of emotional depth.

This could be developed and extended but for now I am sharing the work as it is heard on film. 

I am sure we will release an official EP at some point with a selection of works from the episode. 

Enjoy.
