Since 2012, Cass. has released albums of varying styles, from the rather organic and loopbased ambientpieces on Loops & Farewell Sketches and the Red Atlantic EP on Throne of Blood in 2017, influenced by 80’s pop sonics, to the more balearic and percussive recordings on The Sound Of Glades together with Wolf Müller in 2016. 

On his 2019 solo album Postclub Prism on Into The Light Records, Cass. explores his affinity to calm and atmospheric ambient music at the treshold to the sound of club music that - an important note in this context - did always play an immense role in the personal and artistic development of Cass..

In late 2019 Cass. collaborated with long time friend Marvin Horsch aka Gianni Brezzo on the LP 'Masala Kiss', released by the lovely Basso of Growing Bin Records. For Patrick Ryder (Piccadilly Records) 'Masala Kiss' sounds like "emotional ambient, soft focus synthesis and pastoral programming and connects the ideas from early and contemporary works to a hopeless romantic record".

In 2021 Cass. announces another solo album called 'Ambient Music For A Young Girl', to be released on Growing Bin Records in 2021.
In addition to that, Cass.' and his long time partner Niklas Wandt are about to release their recording 'Esculturas Rupestres' on the Salon Des Amateurs affiliated label candomblé in the same year. The record delivers an enchanting collage of spoken word, ancient drumming, synth ambi(val)ence and free improvisation.

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."
