Okay this is one of the best mixes ive ever listened to and now knowing max coopers taste makes me want to listen to all of it

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.

An esoteric and effervescent voyage into the sound bank of Niels Orens. A sound designer, composer and artist based in Brussels, Belgium. Driven by technology, Orens is constantly searching for new ways to generate sound. The harmonious cohesion between his acoustic and electronic sounds results in a colourful palette of that invoke a joy for the senses. 

Niels worked closely with Mesh during his tenure as Dolby Atmos mixing assistant with studio String & Tins, London and Mesh on the Unspoken Words project by Max Cooper. Niels has added 2 original tracks featured in this mix to explore, along with other eclectic sounds reaching across the broad electronic spectrum. 

Words about artwork:
“For the artwork of this Mesh Series I wrote an algorithm that displaces all the things I love with noise. Because there are also two tracks of my latest EP ‘Make Null and Void’ in this mix I used the same technique here as I did for the artwork of the EP.  

This generative approach is something I also use a lot in my own music productions, it gives me fresh ideas as well as outcomes that I otherwise would never come up with.” — Niels Orens

Isolatedmix 48 - Gidge

I’ve been pretty obsessed with simple ratios in the forms of chord progressions for as long as I can remember, hence all the long sustained chords in my music - for some reason I find chords even more satisfying in the lower frequencies, maybe we can pick out the ratios more clearly when they’re using slower wave fronts like with bass. I also love melodies and rhythms that combine different loop lengths so that interesting syncopation effects arise as a result of the ratios between the loop lengths. A lot of my favourite new tracks recently have used these types of techniques, so I decided to base a mix around them - Semiosis.

Semiosis is a process by which we create meaning from comparison. If I tell you a made up word that doesn’t relate to anything you know, you can get little meaning from it - meaning comes from what something isn’t, how it relates to other things you know. Music works in exactly this way, with us comparing meaningless wave frequencies to find feeling in how one value relates to another - a ratio.

Whether or not you like it, your subconscious mind is a massive maths geek, and it gets really excited when it finds a 1:3:5 ratio in the stream of air pressure information being received by your ears.  Ratio has the capacity to make us feel and make us dance. But it all happens without us being aware of it. 

When you listen to long drawn out chords and syncopating rhythms however, you can’t really get the full feeling from just a quick dip in, I find that it needs time for the ratios to wash over and sink in. The more time you give to it the more beauty you can find hidden in there. So the mix is very much of this long form, it doesn’t jump from one extreme to another like some of my other mixes, and needs to have some time to develop.

I've been playing some long dj sets recently as part of an All Night Long tour. I have recorded two sessions for you, of nearly 6 hours each, from the London and Amsterdam legs which you can download from here via the mailing list:

http://www.maxcooper.net

The All Night Long tour has given me the opportunity to really explore the music that I love in a live setting, and experiment more than is usually possible when playing with other DJs.

The sets go right through my favourite genres from ambient and post classical to downtempo, house, electronica, techno, glitch and even some of my old drum and bass records when I could get away with it.

Thanks you for your support and listens, I hope you enjoy the recordings, and hopefully catch you out at a show sometime soon.

And big thanks to Colin Droz for the great original hand-drawn artwork for the mix!

BBC6Music Nemone 30 Min Mix

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.

Mesh; the name brings to mind an underlying foundation, a wire frame for a crafted piece of art to ensure structural integrity. It’s an apt name for multimedia artist Max Cooper’s electronic imprint, where the MO is clattering rhythms and voluminous ambient vistas; sound as a vehicle for big ideas. Cooper’s exclusive Bleep mix celebrates the achievements of Mesh with a collection of works from their discography, featuring the ambient swells of Rob Clouth and some especially crisp breakbeat re-alignments from the likes of Reid Willis and Synkro. To top it off, there’s a couple of unreleased Cooper numbers you won’t hear anywhere else.

"Hi Bleep and listeners, many thanks for getting me involved on your awesome mix series. I've been really excited about the music we've been releasing on Mesh recently, so I decided to combine a lot of Mesh content with Laurel Halo's beautiful new remix of the Glassforms EP with Bruce Brubaker on Infine, and a couple of unreleased bits fresh from the studio which I've been playing around with in recent weeks and which probably won't be heard in their Bleep mix form anywhere else as they're still actively evolving pieces. It's a wander through some of the music which I've been using for escapism in recent times, rich with narrative and imagery if you can spare me some time with headphones on and eyes closed." - Max Cooper
