Max Cooper DJ Set - Molten Expansion (free DL)

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

I've not released a new mix for a long time because I've been busy working on a new album (which you can hear soon), and the Emergence live show, which is coming in a new form for next year.  

So for this new mix I brought together some new unreleased work, a couple of pieces I wanted to bring attention to, like Attaque's amazing remix of Remnants, and some older work that's been featuring in my recent live sets.

Thanks for listening - and thanks to everyone who's come to Emergence this year!

Max.

Resonant States - Mix

Originating from Sweden, Gidge are a duo who seek inspiration from a somewhat uncompromising environment. Cold, harsh winters leave little room for musical warmth and creativity, yet somehow the pair manage to maintain a depth and meaning to their sound which transcends far beyond their surroundings. 

The pair first met back in school at the age of 16. Rooted in the small city of Umeå Jonatan Nilsson and Ludvig Stolterman quickly became friends through a shared love of the abstract and electronic music. This would later materialise into them producing music together as the duo Gidge. This month saw the release of their second mini album on Atomnation, a record label not known for compromise or a sub standard release policy which has previously hosted music by the likes of Weval, Olaf Stuut and Sau Poler. 

We caught up with the pair on the back of the release of their latest work 'LNLNN' as they deliver a Monday mix for Ransom Note

Gidge: The 'Monday Is OK' Mix

On this mix, originally appearing on Headphone Commute podcast in May of 2017, we celebrate some of the pioneers of early electronic ambient music, with the help of a long-time contributor, Fingers in the Noise. Here are all of the first explorations into the then unnamed genre, sometimes referred to as avant-garde, new-music, or simply electronic music. Pictured for the cover art of this mix is Laurie Spiegel, an American composer, who, while working in Bell Laboratories in the early 70s, composed with analog synthesizers using interactive software she wrote herself. Some of this music is hard to come by, with the early experiments a bit difficult to digest, so I thank Laurent Bisch for his wonderful selection of tracks for this very special tribute.

BBC6Music Nemone 30 Min Mix

From the feature in Magnetic Magazine

Sounds & Spaces 001
Max Cooper - Synesthetes Museum
A mix based on the British Museum
 
Featuring a mix of 12th century Tibetan monks song, one of the first ever recordings of music, made by Thomas Edison on a wax cylinder in 1888, poetic spoken word, 9th century Gregorian Chant, A call to the lama from afar, some unreleased exclusives, 9/8 techno, traditional Chinese music mixed with rude glitch, and a binaural museum.
______________________________________



The brief for this mix was to make something inspired by an architectural space. When I was doing my Post-Doc at UCL I used to go the British Museum to relax, and work in the beautiful library there, so I chose the space for the mix. I wanted to capture the ambient atmosphere in the central courtyard, so I did some binaural recording to include in the mix. I also wanted to make the mix something of an exploration through history and ideas in line with the contents of the museum, so I brought in lots of disparate music spanning the centuries and continents. I also mixed it in a way to be like a journey though the museum, turning corners and regularly coming across something totally different and unexpected, with each track being like a different exhibit. Hence the name of the mix, in that, each piece of music almost has a visual content.

Max Cooper - Synesthetes Museum (free download)

I’ve made a little ambient mix of some of my all time favourite peaceful music.

Download is available from www.maxcooper.net/download - via sign in to the members area.

The mix was originally made for a clinical trial for people undergoing something of a reconstructive therapy. It was designed to repeatedly and slowly transition between relaxed reflection, and stimulation of new thoughts, running for a 2 hrs 30 mins session. You’ll probably hear what I mean in the structure.

It also includes some unreleased music of mine which hasn’t been heard before, alongside many of the most beautiful pieces I could find. I hope you enjoy it.
