Tijn Driessen - Inkeer

A binaural recording of three tracks from my first 4DSOUND performance - Woven Ancestry, Meadows and Gravity Well.

Woven Ancestry is from the Human LP out now, available from iTunes at www.smarturl.it/MCHuman and on vinyl and CD from bit.ly/FIELDSshop. 

The experience will only work if you listen with headphones, and in a quiet location. Closing your eyes helps. Relax and let yourself naturally build a mental picture of your surroundings based only on what you hear.

ABOUT 4D SOUND

The 4D Sound System was designed and developed in Amsterdam by Paul Oomen, Salvador Breed, Luc Van Weelden and Poul Holleman. It comprises 16 columns with omnidirectional speakers at several heights in each column, and the columns spaced around the room in a 12 x 12 x 4m array.

They have designed Max for Live devices which provide a range of spatial controls within Ableton Live, as well as an accompanying visual 3D model of the space and sounds within it. This allows for a spatial composition/production process, whereby each piece of music is designed as a physical entity to exist within the space, as something that can be walked around inside and explored by the listeners.

The system is called "4D Sound" because it produces sound in all 3 spatial dimensions, as well as being able to move sounds through the space in time - the 4th dimension.

Lusine - Lucky (Lake People Remix)

Solid Steel (2nd January) In hour 2 we welcome Discodromo, the Italian duo based in Berlin who also founded the Cocktail d'Amore label alongside Berghain resident Boris Dolinski. Although down a notch in tempo, this mix retains the quality throughout. We don't have a tracklist, but it's full of their trademark sound that successfully treads the line between cosmic disco and house.

Roots Panorama aka Deetron and Ripperton must love living life on the edge if this vibrant clash of noise is something to go by. You will need to listen really intently to the Deetron mix of Three otherwise you might lose yourself in the midst of fierce techno rhythms and a killer House bassline, with an array of insistant electronic sound filling in the spaces between. And just to make the point again, a Beeetz version follows – you get the need for the three eee’s now. The Ripperton mix then destroys the template to get deeper with yet more devastating bass and this time classic piano which come together in a priceless, uplifting moment. 8

Recondite - Capable (Ricardo Donoso Clemency Version)

Dear World,

Agoria asked last year if I wanted to do a remix from Oxia's "Domino".
Like many times in the past, I have chosen big songs, so that its double so hard to do my own interpretations. I took the offer and told myself "if you remix "Domino", then do it in a very smart and musical way". Not everyone who listens to both remixes will immediately recognize the song, because they are not focused on the peak time in the clubs or festivals. Instead, they are focused on the softer and loving moments on the dance floor. Don’t we need some of this in these times? #1 on the next dance charts in the USA would be nice… ☺

Greetings from Quito, RW

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."
