My Choices Are Not My Own feat. Tawiah, May Kaspar (Turtle Remix)

I like music, I play Geometry Dash, and I make art. I'm working on my first (real) album! Unity will be in development and idk if I will have a preview up soon, but I'll try my best.

Don't let YSTRDAY take up too much of today.

◊ In love with melancholy since 1992.
◊ Telling stories with music, love, and beer.
◊ Not everything’s online – some things live in the moment, others are making their way through demo submissions.

« YSTRDAY, auch bekannt unter seinem früheren Pseudonym „Mexful“ oder als Teil des Kollektivlabels „Zeitspiel“ – das vor allem durch das Duo „S.P.Q.R.“ mit einer ganz besonderen Interpretation von Progressive-Latin-House Bekanntheit erlangte – ist jemand, der seine Liebe zur Musik durch und durch lebt. Seine gefühlvollen Sets heben die Stimmung auf eine ganz eigene Ebene und machen dabei einfach nur Lust und Laune. Ob als Seelenfutter zum Wochenbeginn als auch für die Ewigwachgebliebenen – jede*r wird glücklich. Fokussiert auf das „Hier und Jetzt“, denn „Don’t let YSTRDAY take up too much of today“, so sein Leitspruch, ist man eben genau HIER auf musikalischer Entdeckungsfahrt. Seine verspielten Releases auf SoundCloud lassen das deutlich erahnen und sorgten bereits für erste Kontakte mit namhaften Labels und der ein oder anderen DJ-Größe. Es mag also gut sein, dass in Zukunft noch so manche grandiose Überraschung ansteht. »

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."
