Amazing!!!! 17:33 takes me to another world xx

how sooooft... like the skin of a beautiful women ...

As the pandemic restrictions are set to ease soon in the UK and we finally had some hot weather, I was getting nostalgic for the feeling of playing outdoors at festivals and excited about the prospect of being able to do it again soon. My manager Jonny and I decided to set up an impromptu festival stage in the courtyard here at the studio in Brighton, so I could play some tunes and create a virtual festival experience for you!

Max Cooper Boiler Room Berlin DJ Set

From the original feature on Clash Magazine: http://www.clashmusic.com/features/fluid-landscapes-exclusive-max-cooper-mix

It’s been a long time since I’ve made a full length “live” mix of just my own material, mainly because I was focused on my album in recent times. But after some new studio additions and work developing new ideas and new experiments, I’ve got enough fresh material to draw on, along with some old, to put together a new live set only composed of my originals, some remixes I’ve done, and I had to include a couple from the Inhuman remix package because there’s some great work on there from Lusine and Rodriguez Jr. among others.

I’ve approached this mix a little more like my live sets of old, keeping it pretty smooth and letting the tracks do the talking, rather than going too heavy on the genre-swapping and BPM-juggling as I have been doing on other mixes recently. There’s still some (hopefully) unexpected moments though of course, a strings solo, some crunchy glitch, backwards Nyatiti, several brand new never heard before tracks, a homemade desolation bootleg of Spastik, my first ever totally analogue tracks (I’ve only recently taken the plunge into the analogue synth world), and two live Jazz improvisation sessions recorded recently in London.

The artwork embedded is made by Andre Britz, who has literally created some "fluid landscapes" works, of which he was kind enough to donate a custom piece for this mix - Thanks Andre! You can find him here: https://www.behance.net/Andre

As a whole, the mix is about being wrapped up in a warm exploration of feelings and landscapes. It will work best with a nice pair of headphones and an open mind. I hope there’s at least some parts in there you enjoy!

1. Max Cooper - TBA1
2. Collaboration - TBA2
3. Max Cooper - Supine - Rodriguez Jr Remix (Fields)
4. Microtrauma - Contrast - Max Cooper Remix (Traum)
5. Max Cooper - Woven Ancestry - Lusine Remix (Fields)
6. Max Cooper feat. Braids - Automaton (Fields)
7. Max Cooper - Automnemonic (Traum)
8. Max Cooper - TBA3
9. Collaboration - TBA4
10. Max Cooper - TBA5
11. Spastik Bootleg

Max Cooper Live - Fluid Landscapes - mix for Clash

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.

Semiosis - DJ Set - Free DL - Quotient 2/6

I've been listening to Essential mixes since I first started getting into clubs and electronic music, so it was a shock, and exciting for me, to get the offer to make one myself. The two hour format really allows some time to explore ideas musically as well.

So bringing everything together, I decided to try and make it an exploration of everything that has made me so obsessed with electronic music for the last 20 years, with some of my favourite records from the mid 90's, unreleased material from my favourite artists like Nils Frahm, Lusine, Tim Hecker and Rob Clouth, and a range of genres from ambient to 90 bpm electronica, house and techno, all the way up to 170bpm glitched jungle mayhem - I thought, why not have some fun with it!?

So it's certainly not a normal club mix, it's just what I think is the best music out there, without worrying about what genre or box any particular track fits into or how things should be done "properly". I wanted to leave some sections quite ambient as well, to give breathing space between the peaks, so I'm happy to be able to post this new version up, minus the broadcast talking and idents.

The mix also contains some new work from me, some unreleased, and two tracks from my new EP with Tom Hodge, one of which you can download for free from here www.maxcooper.net, the other you can download from iTunes - http://hyperurl.co/MCartefactEP - or Beatport - http://btprt.dj/1DHZhHk

Essential Mix - Max Cooper - No Voice Overs

I've not released a new mix for a long time because I've been busy working on a new album (which you can hear soon), and the Emergence live show, which is coming in a new form for next year.  

So for this new mix I brought together some new unreleased work, a couple of pieces I wanted to bring attention to, like Attaque's amazing remix of Remnants, and some older work that's been featuring in my recent live sets.

Thanks for listening - and thanks to everyone who's come to Emergence this year!

Max.

Max Cooper Mix for Soundwall Italy

I made a little live mix of my own tracks and remixes recently for B Traits BBC Radio 1 show. They aired 30mins or so of it, but you can get the whole mix here (plus there's a free download of the file via the website users area, where's there's a load of other content too).

It's got quite a thorough melodic string throughout. Lots of soft enveloping chords, nested textures and slowly developing tracks without straying into too much glitch - "submerged textures", with some fitting artwork made by Colin Droz featuring Mars textures, with his own hand-drawn textures embedded/submerged within. 

I used quite a few old tracks, as there's a whole load of new projects on the way and I wanted to get a little look back before moving forward with the next releases. I hope you enjoy it, and here's the full tracklist (ps it used to be called alive mix so if you already got that no need to get this too):

Max Cooper - Sea of Sound - Ambient Rework
Landside - Still There - Max Cooper Remix
Nick Warren - Devils Elbow - Max Cooper Remix
Microtrauma - Contrast - Max Cooper Remix
Max Cooper - Molten Landscapes
Max Cooper - Symmetry
Max Cooper - Symmetry - Vessels Remix
Halls - Roses for the Dead - Max Cooper Remix
Max Cooper - Cyclic
Mono Electric Orchestra - Blunt Force Trauma - Max Cooper Remix
Agoria - Panta Rei - Max Cooper Remix
Objekt - Agnes Demise / Helios - A Mountain of Ice - MC edit
Max Cooper & Satirist - Grit
Ricardo Tobar - Mi Pieza Lena De Cosas - Max Cooper Remix
Nils Frahm - Peter - Max Cooper Remix
Max Cooper - Four Tone Reflections

ps thanks for listening!

Sounds & Spaces 001
Max Cooper - Synesthetes Museum
A mix based on the British Museum
 
Featuring a mix of 12th century Tibetan monks song, one of the first ever recordings of music, made by Thomas Edison on a wax cylinder in 1888, poetic spoken word, 9th century Gregorian Chant, A call to the lama from afar, some unreleased exclusives, 9/8 techno, traditional Chinese music mixed with rude glitch, and a binaural museum.
______________________________________



The brief for this mix was to make something inspired by an architectural space. When I was doing my Post-Doc at UCL I used to go the British Museum to relax, and work in the beautiful library there, so I chose the space for the mix. I wanted to capture the ambient atmosphere in the central courtyard, so I did some binaural recording to include in the mix. I also wanted to make the mix something of an exploration through history and ideas in line with the contents of the museum, so I brought in lots of disparate music spanning the centuries and continents. I also mixed it in a way to be like a journey though the museum, turning corners and regularly coming across something totally different and unexpected, with each track being like a different exhibit. Hence the name of the mix, in that, each piece of music almost has a visual content.
