I had a lot of train journeys recently and I love watching the wires seemingly dance around outside the window. I wondered if we could be getting fooled by a similar process during our usual experience of movement and time, and thought it would be an interesting project for a music video set to the music created during the same journeys.

You can find that project and a longer explanation of the video ideas here: https://vimeo.com/241546182

For the music I wanted to bring ideas of frozen moments of the past into play, and no better excuse to get stuck in with the Prophet 6 on some lush classic analogue synth sounds for the main chord sequence, and plenty of nob noodling for a dance of modulating sounds around the main sequence. I wanted to keep it fairly sparse to let the chord patch be central, and just focus on trying to make every element, including the percussion, warp a little, so you can either listen to the track from a distance and hear the harmonic ideas, or delve in to find all sorts more hiding in there.

Max Cooper - Hope (Parra For Cuva Remix)

House Music

First single from the latest audio/visual project, Yearning for the Infinite, Perpetual Motion was written for that moment at the end of the night when all the experiments and madness is over and we just need a nice warm chord sequence to send us home in a good mood. 

The name comes from its role in my new visual show, where it plays that same closing role in the story of humans “yearning for the infinite”. Set to drone footage of people in their endless pursuit of life in Mexico City, combined with epic scientific visualisations of different infinite structures. It’s all part of a project commission from the Barbican, which has spawned this new album and live visual experiment.

And big thanks to Renick Bell for the "yearning for the infinite" human!

lyrics:

i dont wanna be here 
i want to hide away
n im not even nervous 
i could die today
or like i could dissapear 
wont happen either way
n theres this girl named astrid 
with a time n date :(

so i hold my breath
until my lungs collapse
n i bleach my teeth
so i can smile n laugh
and shes like artemis 
with arsenic inside of her bag
n hes a narcissist   
but part of him really miss his past

so i hold my breath
until my lungs collapse
n i bleach my teeth
so i can smile n laugh
and shes like artemis 
with arsenic inside of her bag
n hes a narcissist   
but part of him really miss his past

theres this rich, white girl
that works inside a department store
i guess that she aint rich no more
her mom and dad got a divorce
she say thats shes fine
she sits alone and cries to paramore
and if im being honest with the process 
i dont care no more

n the trees dont grow
where the sun low
let me tell u a lil story
abt where we dont go

n theres this forest on the east side
where all the evil beasts lie
n i dont cannot deny
that my brain buzzing like a beehive
to move out to the sea side
omg it must be nice
n i met this girl named persephone 
i think shell be mine

so i hold my breath
until my lungs collapse
n i bleach my teeth
so i can smile n laugh
and shes like artemis 
with arsenic inside of her bag
n hes a narcissist   
but part of him really miss his past

so i hold my breath
until my lungs collapse
n i bleach my teeth
so i can smile n laugh
and shes like artemis 
with arsenic inside of her bag
n hes a narcissist   
but part of him really miss his past

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."
