Max Cooper - Harmonisch Serie

Out Now! >> http://www.beatport.com/release/inhuman-one/1280972

Lusine has been one of my favourite producers for a long time. I'm just going back over some of his first releases on Ghostly International from the early 00's, and it's amazing how ahead of the game he's always been. His combination of delicate productions and beautiful warm analogue melodies, intricacies and amazing shuffling grooves have been a big inspiration for me over the years, with his "A certain distance" album from 2009 being one of my all-time most listened too albums.

So Lusine was one of my ideal remixers for the album, and thanks to Sean at Decibel festival, the hookup was made and he was into the idea. He's turned out a beautiful remix of Woven Ancestry, which if you've seen me play recently, you probably heard in my set. The mix has special balance of being a great piece of music to listen to at home, but then when it's unleashed in a club it's groove takes on a whole new life which I hadn't seen coming until I tried it out - Thanks Jeff!

Woven Ancestry - Lusine Remix

Artist: Robosonic 
Title: Good Feel EP 
Label: OFF Recordings 
Release number: OFF093 
Format: Digital / Vinyl 
Releasedate: 21.07.2014 (Digital) / 2014 (Vinyl) Web: www.off-recordings.com 

ROBOSONIC - Good Feel EP

A1 ROBOSONIC - Good Old Feel feat. MASTA ACE (12" Version)
A2 ROBOSONIC - Dedicated (12" Version)
A3 ROBOSONIC - Life Is Like (12" Version)

They can't stop and they won't stop! Robosonic's organic blend of classy house music
and classic hiphop has gone next level again. Some cats will file this under „deep
house“, others even under „G-house“ – both genre names which Sacha & Cord have
been reluctant to use for their own music. What does „G“ stand for anyway?! Golden-era, girls, gangsta, good feel..?! 
New York rap legend Masta Ace, originally part of the famed Juice Crew in the
mid-80s (with Marley Marl, Biz Markie, Big Daddy Kane among others!), known for
collaborations with artists such as MF Doom, influencing rappers like Eminem, and
still now known as one of the truest rappers alive, made a teenage dream come true
for Cord when he recorded an original feature part and hook for Robosonic on top of
their soulful "Good Old Feel"! A radio cut, boasting the full vocal performance by
Masta Ace, is not included in this 3-tracker, but rather saved up for the upcoming
Robosonic album. 
"Dedicated" is a raw take on the mid 90‘s sound of the west... a classic record from
Sacha's collection became the initial inspiration for the funkdoobiest house tool
Robosonic made so far. 
"Life is like" is another obvious tribute to real rap. Not only to Nas, who is quoted with
his very own ‚Illmatic‘ punchlines, but also to DJ Premier, his sample wizadry,
signature turntable hooks and countless milestones in hiphop production! There is
even a crafty shout out to Big L, who used to speak with criminal slang, until the sad
day he was shot...Celebrate life before it's over.

I started this track with a simple Prophet patch running through a Moog ring mod with loads of overdrive. It wasn't so much overdrive that it became aggressive, but enough so that it had a simple tonal quality overlaid with plenty of honest low-fi grittyness. Sometimes all it takes is getting that first timbral feature right for the rest of the track to flow from there, and this was a good example for me. 

I also knew I wanted the track to fit later on in the Emergence story, where it should be rhythmically straight enough to fit into a club show where needed, but also for the part of the show where we explore visually, the range of complex living forms and evolutionary change - it needed to capture some of that beauty of life's morphogenetic creativity.

I found the chord sequence fairly quickly, and built the drums and smooth dynamics within a few days, but I got stuck on how to complete the track. I tried hundreds of different ideas, and thought I might need to bin the project, but then luckily stumbled across some old synth jam recordings that had some moments that sounded ok. So I jumped on those and went to work on an editing job. 

It turned out that a lot of the problem I had been having was that I was trying to add too much, when for me, the chords were the hook, and what was needed was a sparse melodic addition to support the chords rather than any sort of traditional tuneful hook. In recent years I've been more and more drawn to just chord sequences as the main features of tracks musically, with the rest stripped away. When Ryan Rival Consoles was considering a remix he commented the album seemed to be all about the chords (or something to that extent), so I guess that idea is in there. Chords just seem to carry the most emotion for me for some reason (as opposed to melodies or lyrics for example).

So there it is, I hope you like the track!

This piece of music is called Goldene Acht or Pale Clouded Yellow, a bright yellow butterfly with a figure-eight shaped pattern on its lower outer wings. As a migratory butterfly, an individual animal travels often several hundreds of kilometers. Over the year, the species produces three or even four generations. The last generation overwinters as a caterpillar. With this track I wanted to tell you about this never-ending journey from south to north and back again in several generation steps. Therefore new theme-generations appear in the track constantly, while having all the same migratory direction. At the same time it was also my endeavour to picture the elfin nature of this marvellous creature in a musical way. Every year I can observe it in my garden and enjoy its elegant flight from blossom to blossom for hours with childish astonishment.

Dieses Musikstück heißt Goldene Acht, ein leuchtend gelber Schmetterling der ein Muster in Form einer Acht auf den unteren Außenflügeln trägt. Als Wanderfalter legt ein Individuum oft mehrere hundert Kilometer zurück. Über das Jahr bringt die Art drei oder sogar vier Generationen hervor, bei denen die letzte Generation als Raupe überwintert. Diese permanente Wanderschaft von Süden nach Norden und wieder zurück in mehreren Generations-Etappen, möchte ich in diesem Track erzählen. Daher tauchen immer wieder neue Abschnitte von Klangmotiven auf, die aber alle stets die selbe Zugrichtung haben. Gleichzeitig war es aber auch mein Bestreben das elfenhafte Wesen dieses wunderschönen Geschöpfes musikalisch zu skizzieren. Jedes Jahr kann ich den Falter ausgiebig auf der Wiese vor meinem Haus beobachten und könnte seinem eleganten Flug von Blüte zu Blüte stundenlang mit kindlicher Begeisterung zuschauen.

BRAIDS are one of my favourite bands, so when I had the chance to work with them I jumped on it. The vocals were the starting point, which I layered and used to generate a general feeling also in fitting with the lyrics, which then defined how I built the rest of the tracks around them. The first one from the EP is "Pleasures", for which I wanted to make something positive and warming, with nice straightforward drums and nothing too harsh in terms of builds and drops, just a delicate flow to give a pleasurable listening experience, hopefully!

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."
