Mesh Series 015: Kayla Painter 

A curated series where we commission artists to make an hour long mix of whatever inspires them to experiment, produce, and what they listen to.

Adopted Bristolian Kayla Painter connects us (Mesh) to sound on this months series, which is also the name of her aptly titled radio show on Giles Petersons' World Wide Fm. Kayla brings us an hour long demonstration of her innovative and experimental palette ranging all the way from mid-paced downtempo bass stompers, bouncy jovial electro to warping melodic IDM productions with also some firm original works from her own projects. Big thanks to Kayla for contributing to the series. 

Words about artwork
"The cover for this mix was a collaboration between myself and my longstanding visual artist, Jason Baker.  We work closely together on creating a unique audio visual world with my live show, and this carries across to artwork too.  I wanted to reflect the detail in some of the tracks I’ve chosen for this mix in the artwork, which we did by choosing the texture of the landscape.  The artwork is an extension of the visual world we create, which explores lost futures through recontextualising objects and spaces that feel familiar."

A curated series where we commission artists to make an hour long mix of whatever inspires them to experiment, produce, and what they listen to.

İzel Baybars, known as Pleizel, was born in Istanbul, Turkey. An emerging sound designer and composer. Pleizel has constructed music for TV series, movies, digital media, immersive spaces and live events.

Words about artwork:
“This artwork generated by Midjourney’s AI. After I finished the set I started to listen the recording again. At the moment I created the keywords of some emotions and objects which reaches to my mind. While I was listening the set, I felt myself in microcosmos of the macro universe. So then I imagined human cells which are made from Nebulae and here is the result."

Mesh Mix Series 023: Pleizel

This mix is the polar opposite of HARD/MAXIMAL/CATHARTIC. It's a 4 channel surround sound mix of drone/ambient that I made for a session I had in my basement. I set up a speaker in each corner, invited a bunch of friends around and we all lay melting in the middle of the dark room vibrating from the bass. I love that experience. I feel so refreshed afterwards, like I've had my mind reset. It's like a spa for my brain.

It starts and ends with one of my oldest binaural recordings of rain. This was to signify the start and end of the experience - only when the rain is playing are you allowed to speak.

This is a binaural mix down. If you want to try the full 4 channel experience, you can download the front and rear stereo files here.

Probs easiest to put them on separate tracks in Ableton or whatever and route the tracks to the appropriate speakers.

So get some pillows, take a big (but responsible) dose of your favourite dissociative and disconnect from reality for a while.

SOFT/MINIMAL/INTROSPECTIVE

This is an opening DJ set I played at Klub Verboten in Berlin: from doors opening up until peak time. It's a club set focussed on dancing and physical interactions with a gentle warm-up moving onto some tactile techno.

Mesh Series 006: Ben Lukas Boysen

A curated series where we commission artists to make an hour long mix of whatever inspires them to experiment, produce, play out and what they listen to.


"This particular mix blends together many of the influences that follow me around in my every day work. Often the biggest inspiration lies in very basic harmonic structures or textures that’s why i combined some of my favourite ambient pieces with a number of, partially binaural, field recordings i took in the black forest last year. I’d love this to be an inspiration and relaxation tool that sparks ideas in good and bad times alike" - Ben Lukas Boysen

Ben Lukas Boysen has made a career out of transforming unusual sounds into compelling music. His first electronic compositions at 18 were experiments with samplers and tape loops leading to an album in 2003 and the subsequent foundation of his own Berlin studio. Since, he has produced multiple albums (many under the alias HECQ), and led numerous workshops on composition and sound aesthetics, as well as creating custom sound design for films, commercials, video games and installations. Boysen’s first film score for „Restive" premiered in 2011, followed by his debut album under his own name in 2013, and the award-winning score for the Sony Playstation game, Everything, in 2016 as well as Amazon series „BEAT“ in 2018 and the score for the  film adaptation of best seller „The Collini Case“ in 2019.

Mesh Series 04: John Tejada

Mesh Series 005: Rob Clouth 

A curated series where we commission artists to make an hour long mix of whatever inspires them to experiment, produce, play out and what they listen to.

As a multidisciplinary artist working in the fields of electronic music, computational sonics and new media, Rob Clouth's motivations include searching for raw emotion amongst intricate musical structures, developing experimental audio software solutions and, in the broadest sense, rethinking the ways in how we interact with music and technology.

Initially received as an IDM artist, his sound has evolved consistently over the years, with critically acclaimed excursions into techno, ambient and neoclassical. Today, he employs a range of influences, drawing upon research-based practices with a heavy dose of improvisation to forge microscopic textures rich with melody and harmony. A proficient software developer, he codes his own digital instruments in tandem with the music, an iterative cycle in which one feeds off the other.

After a few years exploring the outer realms of dubstep as Vaetxh, Rob’s first EP under his own name arrived with 2012’s Cloud Complex on Traum Schallplatten. Fusing the glitchy aesthetic of his previous work with fragile melodies and techno rhythms, it signalled the merging of his detail-oriented production with multigenre, dancefloor-ready tracks. Two acclaimed 2014 releases on Barker’s Leisure System imprint - Clockwork Atom and Deep Field - expanded further on his interest in atypical structures and sweeping spatial arrangements, landing him a spot on Bleep’s best releases of the year.

Hidden Structures - a 2015 EP, again on Leisure System - considered the inner workings that lie within the universe, using the notion of concealed structures to build a delicate 30-minute release of mind-melting sonic explorations. The follow up to this, 2018’s Transition - Rob’s first release on Max Cooper’s Mesh imprint - represented a new direction in his methodology. The landmark four-track EP is accompanied by an online algorithmic summary of his entire musical output since 2003, documenting his development as an artist as part generative music piece, part visual summary, and rethinking the traditional formats attributed to a release. 

March 2020 saw the release of Rob’s debut album Zero Point - a love-letter to noise, chance, chaos and order. Written over a year and a half between Barcelona and a remote village in Northern Spain, the album is inspired by the zero-point field, a quantum sea of random energy that exists everywhere in the universe. Seemingly complex scientific processes might suggest a challenging listen, but Rob’s music positions the listener firmly in the centre, encompassing moments of awe and affect amongst shifting rhythmic structure

Mesh Series 010: Indian Wells

A curated series where we commission artists to make an hour long mix of whatever inspires them to experiment, produce, and what they listen to.

A journey of the unexpected for the Indian Wells Mesh mix series. Twists and turns and beautiful new music throughout. A guided sonic tour into the realms of his consciousness. 

Words about artwork: 
The Artwork of this mix is a print of Hercules Segers, ‘Mountain Valley with a Plateau’ .  In these weird times where we are forced to stay at home and we have to avoid socialising and seeing places, imagination is a big resource. This mix is full of different genres and for me it’s also a trip to see different places.

Mesh Series 010: Indian Wells

Sign up for updates & exclusive experiences: 

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."
