Four Tet - Gillie Amma, I Love You

This track is about emergence from the combination of polar opposites. Fragments of self from very different places, but part of the same whole.

Combining classical and computational elements is something I've been experimenting with for some years, but this attempt to combine the extreme opposites of each was spurred on by some chance DJing experiments, a fortuitous collaboration opportunity, and the amazing work of my friends Olafur Arnalds and Vaetxh (Rob Clouth). I found that I could mix the most beautiful and delicate piano solo of Olafur, with the most hyper-edited and jarring glitch of Vaetxh, and that the result actually worked, well, for me anyway, even if half the people in the club stood confused about how to dance. So when the opportunity arose to work with the pianist and composer Tom Hodge, I wanted to try and create this form of merger of extremes for a release, rather than it being confined to my DJ toolbox (also on the classical meets glitch history from a slightly different angle, check out "Rossz Csillag Alatt Született" from Venetian Snares 2005!).

After some discussion of ideas and approach with Tom, he sat and played and made some recordings for me, which I then chopped and build chords and structure around, sent them back to him to play over the top of again, and then back to me to edit and glitch the playing along with the nasty noises. My detailing process was that of finding some interesting sound sources (binaural recordings, drum hit samples, clangs and slams etc) and using some Max for live randomisation chains to generate lots of partially random complexity which I could then edit as audio before repeating the process with additional layers, eventually bringing the recorded piano audio in to the editing too.

At completion of the audio I was really happy to find out that Nick Cobby, one of my favourite video artists and long standing collaborator, was available and interested in working on the visual side of the project. He took the combination of seemingly incompatible opposites, and applied it visually with his beautiful generative forms, smooth and organic for the melodic sections, and jagged and abrasive for the percussive sections - big thanks to Nick for his amazing work as always!

So, that's probably enough ranting about this track from me, aside from why it is like it is, I hope it's something that you can enjoy irrespective of the conceptual faff.

Fragments of Self - with Tom Hodge - Out Now on FIELDS

Remember

Day After Day

iTunes - http://smarturl.it/MCKindred
A few years ago I did a remix of a track by Dominik Eulberg called Sansula, which featured an instrument of the same name. After the release a builder of sansula instruments in the Netherlands was kind enough to give me one as a present in case I wanted to use one again in a live recording, which I have finally got around to doing now with this track!

My process consisted of me sitting in my studio (badly) playing the thumb plucked sansula for quite a while, so that I could go back to the recording and pull out some useable loops as a starting point. I wanted a nice warm analogue chord progression to complement, but more in the high bass and low mids than my usual chord progression that's down really low, to fill the mix with the warmth as much as possible.

The track still needed something though, so I turned to some spare recordings of my favourite vocalist - Kathrin deBoer, from some of our previous recording sessions. I didn't want to go for the usual full lyrical approach of a vocal collab track, I just wanted to add some small snippets of human feeling to round off the track properly.

The release is coming out on Fields on the 1st of December along with an intense synth experiment with a Prophet 08, and beautiful remixes from David August and Throwing Snow.

Origins

I wanted part of my Emergence show to be about the emergence of the human machine, with an infographic-style visual tour of the different modules of the human body - lungs, heart, blood vessels, brain, and more. Henning M. Lederer, who created the amazing video to "Numb", took on the project and created some beautiful video content, and I then created the music to match.

Anatomic is now the fifth free download in the Quotient series - original pieces of music, remixes and mixes that are free just for you.

DOWNLOAD: http://bit.ly/CooperSound

Anatomic was created in an unusual way for me, as a scored part of my new Emergence audio-visual show.

Henning's work is hand drawn, and this video work was also colourful, so I made the music quite playful and lighter than my usual - to match the fun, but also full of meaning, visual content. This section of Emergence also shows the mechanical, ongoing, cyclical nature of the workings of the human body, so I applied the same reasoning to the music, with many melodic and rhythmical loops of different lengths and forms, which create interesting syncopation effects as they interact in a continuous flowing structure, without breaks or stops.

Anatomic is very much a piece of music most at home in the live show, I hope you can join me to see it sometime!

🎵 **"FROM WHERE WE LEFT OFF" - LIVE SET DROPPING AUGUST 23RD** 🎵

After a year in the works, we're finally ready to share this incredible live music experience with you! "From Where We Left Off" picks up exactly where we left off with 'The Storm' - my last big viral DJ set - but this time we're taking it to the next level with a full live band backing.

This isn't your typical EDM set - we're bringing house, drum & bass, and electronic music to life in a revolutionary jam band format.

**THE LINEUP:**
🎹 Kyle Clark - Keytar & Synthesizer
🎸 Blaire Bryant - Bass Guitar
⚡ QNTM.e - Electric & Midi Guitar
🎥 Videography by Ted Miller Films

**THE SETLIST:**
🎶 Our Secret
🎶 See You
🎶 So Simple
🎶 Lights
🎶 Machine Aliens
🎶 Aurora
🎶 Love Never Fails
🎶 Looking Back
...plus a bonus track exclusively on SoundCloud & Spotify 😉

**THE TECH MAGIC:**
The game-changer here is the Ableton Push 3 Standalone - this beast lets us strip down elements from the master track in real-time so each musician can truly shine. When Blaire's bass comes alive, we pull the pre-recorded bassline. When Kyle jumps in on keytar, we clear the mid-range. It's all about creating space for authentic jamming without sonic chaos.

One of the most unique elements is our midi guitar setup - QNTM.e's guitar is equipped with 13-pin midi pickups by IGuitars in New York City, which means every guitar part gets routed through Ableton's native plugins and synthesizers in real-time. We're literally playing guitar through synthesizers and effects that would normally be keyboard-only! Hit us up if you're interested in learning more about this setup!

We also used ADAT routing to separate every instrument type (synths, drums, bass, guitars) into individual channels through our audio interface. This means our final mix sounds as clean as a traditional live band - a breakthrough that wasn't possible until the Push 3's ADAT support!

Inspired by anime aesthetics and featuring both brand new originals and reimagined classics, this set represents the future of live electronic music.

Massive thanks to Steven Gross, Logan Ryan, and Tanner Nuon for their mixing and mastering wizardry! 🙌

**And if you dig this... an EP is dropping in the coming weeks! Stay tuned for more music coming your way! 🔥**

Kiasmos mark their return in 2017 with a new 12” EP titled Blurred — available worldwide on October 6th via Erased Tapes.

Since their 2015 Swept EP, the duo have been performing shows extensively across the world. After writing and recording together in their native Iceland this year, the pair will be bringing a glimpse of light to a particularly gloomy time of year as their light sounds are brighter than ever.

Words from Ólafur and Janus, August 2017: 
￼ 
￼￼“To write new material felt like a new beginning for us after two years of touring. The plan was to ￼write something a tad darker than our previous stuff. Spring in Reykjavík had other plans though, as this turned out to be our brightest release to date.” — Janus Rasmussen

￼“Stimming was one of the reasons we started making four-on-the-floor music and we have been listening to Bonobo since we were young, so it was a great honour that they wanted to contribute remixes for the EP.” — Ólafur Arnalds

￼The EP closes with remixes from British producer Bonobo and German electronic musician Stimming, taking tracks Blurred and Paused into different coloured realms.

The cover art featuring the iconic Kiasmos symbol is by long-time Erased Tapes collaborator Torsten Posselt at FELD.

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."
