Whoa - this track is so nice!  So weird and awkward and wonderful.  I love weird and awkward.  So much.

Uh oh .. this release is entitled "Rocket Science" .. um, no direct comment on this. There is a famous quote (in the computational biology field): "Rocket science is for kids, bioinformatics is for scientists".  :)   http://bit.ly/1ljD2vy

This is fuckin good !!   Listen to my tracks guys ;)

This is a collaborative track that I did with the legend that is Phil Kieran! It came out with that unmistakable Phil Kieran sound, with the kick focused bass and rhythm, and wonky twisted synths, and in spite of sounding a bit odd, when I played it out for the first time a few weeks ago it completely smashed it, inducing some sort of fit like behaviour in the attendees (who were all fine in reality just incase you wondered). It's coming out on Phil's PKR label imminently!

Phil Kieran and Max Cooper - Church Organ Nightmare

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."
