Unspoken Words

Solace In Structure

Here we go with the 847th "Groove Magazine"-ish artist short biography:

Jan emerged his burning passion for drumming and pretty much all styles of music in his early childhood.
He got his first electronic Compact Disk at the age of 7, followed by a´s premium Hi-Fi system, discovering his tape and CD deck mixing skills or ripping radio tunes.

After out of body experiences caused by serious asthmatic shocks where he nearly coughed himself to death he developed the ability of lucid dreaming and was able to control his dream states and consciousness.
Like world famous Richard D. James aka Aphex Twin Jan got blessed and inspired by heavenly melodies in those lucid states.

After entering the Berlin club scene at the age of 16 he desired to become a DJ and quickly expanded his social circle with electronic music enthusiasts, organising Techno or Psytrance Raves for a few years.

Working in the most fancy and popular music Hotel in Europe which is located at the Oberbaumbrücke in Berlin Friedrichshain influenced him in many ways and he gained a lot of experiences, musical knowledge and opportunities for his next steps in life.

The fact that clubbing and tourism in the Techno Mekka is slowly but surely recovering since spring 2022 made him realise that it's the perfect moment for him to share his always well maintained music collection with all the  fans of electronic music out there.

Enjoy!

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."
