My new Drature EP is out now on Science Cult Records!
This is a five-track digital release and the follow-up to my Sprown EP on the same label.

The title track “Drature” is also the centerpiece of the EP — some of you might have heard it during the recent Autechre live gig. It runs in 5/4 with an odd break inside the measure, where the beat only hits at the beginning and end, leaving space for me to play with micro placements and textures.

Bassline: driven by one of the Alia firmwares from Noise Engineering.

Strings/Arps: soaked in the lush, dragging reverb of the Make Noise Erbe-Verb — the reverb tail itself almost becomes the string section.

Beats: still software-based at this point in my modular journey.

Melodies & textures: modular synth, mainly Eurorack.

The whole EP blends software precision with modular unpredictability, creating a hybrid sound that reflects where I was when I started diving into hardware.

👉 You can check out the Drature EP now via Science Cult (USA). If you decide to buy it, you’re directly supporting both me and a label that’s been pushing adventurous music worldwide.

We’re even talking about doing a limited vinyl run — if that excites you, let me know!

Much love & thanks for listening.
— Roel

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."
