This project was really enjoyable to work on because Hugh Pascall provided some amazing live instrumental parts with the trumpet and organ playing, which I caught a vibe from straight away and ran with to try make something a bit more in the techno/house space than the original, but still very much keeping the original idea.

I heartedly recommend checking out the originals on this release, they're awesome, full of character and soul, and are being released on vinyl only, with 300 hand stamped and numbered copies....some exclusive business!...a different way of doing things by DSCNCTD records than my usual.

Hugh Pascall - Absence March - Max Cooper Remix (Clip)

Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.

Можно вообще все (с)

Я это состояние знаете как называю? Не с кем смотреть на звезды. Да–да, не спорьте! Вам есть с кем пойти в кино, в театр, в ресторан. Вам наверняка есть за кого выйти замуж. Но вам не с кем смотреть на звезды. Кто–то хорошо сказал, что мы все копаемся в грязи, но некоторые из нас смотрят на звезды. Вам не хватало этого «некоторого». И всегда будет не хватать. (c)

Прошлое прошло..

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."
