Max Cooper

This track is released 4th April on Traum on vinyl and digital as part of the Metaphysical EP. It's quite heavy on the effects, with a long wierd noise intro just for the craic! I've been starting quite a few sets with it recently, but if you want to mix it I guess you just have to start a couple of minutes in.

Solace (Clip)

This one is simple but effective - 3 note riff, break, build, distorted smash, done. I've been playing it a lot recently, a good one for the clubs.

Andrew K - The Doppler Effect - Max Cooper Remix

Dominik Eulberg @ Soenda Festival 2011, 28-05-2011

Max Cooper - Stochastisch Serie

I had a modern classical/electronica mix from a friend (JamBon) which I had been listening to a lot, and after a weekend away the original of this track was really stuck in my head. At some point I clicked that it sounded just like the style of another friend - Hiatus, and on checking, it was him! So I got straight on email to him asking if I could have the parts, and I even got started on the remix before they arrived by buying the mp3 and starting to lay some ideas around that - When it's on I find it's best to go with it. It was a really enjoyable remix to do given how beautiful the original parts are, my mix is quite similar really, as I couldn't improve on it melodically, I've just tried to add some of my own flavour and twists.

Hiatus - Third - Max Cooper Remix

This is one of those tracks that seems to hold a lot of memories for people I think, having been a significant mainstream track when it was released in 2002, and also a beautiful piece of music by any standards - it's one of those ones you may not remember from the name, but when you listen the riff and vocal (by none other than Hafdis Huld) it's unmistakable. It even reached no. 49 in the UK charts according to Wikipedia, so I'm officially remixing pop music now (sort of). As with some of my other recent remixes, there was no need (and I probably would have found it impossible anyway) to improve on the track melodically, as it's pretty close to perfection in that sense. I just tried to update the style of it, with some glitchy detailed drums, a sort of dubstep-ish influenced beat structure, a long evolving build throughout, and some distortion. This is being released on the legendary Skint records too, which I'm quite excited about.

A remix of hot chip which is coming out this summer on vinyl with a Florien Meindl + Xircus mix in addition! ps Check out the unofficial youtube video someone has made to accompany the track! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Tr1LfBtRlk


Hot Chip - I Feel Better - Max Cooper Remix (Clip)

Max Cooper - Wasp

For this one I wanted to make something soft and deep and enveloping, but still with that techno compatibility, so I went with a simple rhythmical structure and long drawn out pads and chords, with some singing of single notes which I layered on top of each other to make some sort of vocal texture.

Max Cooper - Micron (preview)

This is the A2 track from my new vinyl on Traum Schallpatten - It's a restrained melodic track which I tried to keep pure to it's concept, which was when I was sitting in my studio in Autumn, looking out the windows at the trees and nature which was clouded in mist. It had a really nice atmosphere which I tried to capture.

Max Cooper - Enveloped (Clip)

Magic Panda has been doing some great stuff in recent years, so when he sent me over his album to consider for remixes I immediately found a couple of tracks I had to work with. The problem was I couldn't decide which one to remix, so I decided to remix both tracks into one. This is the result, containing parts from two different tracks, combined into a single remix. Out today on Tigerbeat6!

Magic Panda - Distant Places - Max Cooper Remix (clip)

This original track had a really nice piano riff along with an interesting groove and some weird noises, perfect remix material! Also I love what Mauro Norti has been doing, and Wide Angle, so I got involved. I think I did a lot of the ideas for this one during a wait for a delayed flight in an airport, and I was feeling pretty tired at the time, and a bit paranoid because some weird guy sitting opposite seemed to be staring at me. Then some other guy came up to me with a mobile phone in two pieces, slightly freakily shouting words of English that made no sense and trying to give me this phone, I never managed to figure out what he was on about. Anyway, this track was my escapism from all that crap, I tried to make something nice and relaxing and enveloping to remove me from reality a little, hope you like it.

Mauro Norti - You and me - Max Cooper Remix (clip)

A1 track on my new 12" along with Enveloped, Sea of Sound, and a remix from Maetrik!

Max Cooper - Ripple

This remix had some really nice vocal and guitar parts, but when I combined them with my drums it didn't really work for me. So I decided to create a long build with the original parts, which finally drops into a more stripped down form to try and maintain the quality of the original elements. It's a bit of a combination of deepness with euphoria, which I hope still works, I guess I'll find out what you think about it soon enough!

D/R/U/G/S - The Source Of Light - Max Cooper Remix

For this remix they asked for something heavy, so I tried to make something nice and straight and rhythmically focused on the kick, with some distortion and big spacious noise, with a touch of melody to deliver my influence on the mix. It's a dancefloor track, and sounds best when you play it obscenely loud!

Release date is on Monday 3rd December, and I think it will also be available on vinyl 12"

Max Cooper Live - Modus (free download)

For my new EP on Traum I've done a couple of collaborative tracks with Nicolas Bougaieff (one of the founders of Liine). Nick had some great melodic ideas and a nice operator patch which we used to build two tracks around. This first one, Ellipse, has lots of shuffle and a simple groove to focus attention on the meandering riff at forefront. It's a little different from my usual, a bit of an experiment, hopefully some people will like it!

Release date 1st April on Traum, digital + 12"

Max Cooper and Nicolas Bougaieff - Ellipse

This track is contained on the Movements EP, where each track is themed by movement through a different medium. The concept I had in mind this time was a summer meadow, with lots of warmth and activity and detail of all natural processes going on, and a feeling of movement though the space. I have no idea how well that idea of mine translates into the piece of music for you, but hopefully it works in some way (your interpretation is more important than my concept really).

Andrew Brewer (Whiskas FX) has made a video for this one with some abstracted meadows combined with moire patterns, it's a beauty!....can't wait to get that out in the next few days.

(This is just a clip of the track btw, if you want the full length version it will be out 1st April!)

Max Cooper - Meadows

The EP is about movements through different mediums, this one being about movements through walls of sound. So I've put a really simple beat structure on there with a maddeningly repetitive two note acid style riff to try and lull people into some sort of brain dead state before they hit the wall, and exit out the other side wondering what just happened. That's the idea anyway, a track of maximised contrasts, it works great in a club, maybe not so much of home listener, see what you think anyway!

Max Cooper - Walls

This week we have a two-hour-long, far-ranging interview with Dr. John Ioannidis of Stanford University on, broadly, meta-research and COVID-19 - including his recent controversies. We end the episode with an interview with Dr. Mary-Elizabeth Percival of the University of Washington on her new paper out now in Haematologica: "Survival of patients with newly diagnosed high-grade myeloid neoplasms who do not meet standard trial eligibility".

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."
