Max Cooper & Tom Hodge live at Radialsystem on 6 March, 2015.

Space for experiments and special encounters: We are happy and excited about a night to remember at the sold-out hall of Radialsystem with two amazing musicians from two different spheres meeting on stage for the first time ever. Many thanks to Max Cooper and Tom Hodge, to a fantastic audience and to our great staff for beautiful lighting and amazing sound.

The British composer and pianist Tom Hodge, who already presented his work with Piano Interrupted at UM:LAUT, has been collaborating with the successful electronic music producer Max Cooper since 2013. On 6 March, Hodge and Cooper realised their collaboration for the first time ever in a live form and presented an improvised interpretation of their tracks in between modern classical, ambient, glitch, minimal, and techno.

In the second part of the evening, UM:LAUT proudly presented the German premiere of Max Cooper's stunning audio-visual performance "Emergence": an extraordinary solo show with live electronics and live visuals, in which the renowned producer and biologist with a doctor's degree combines his musical and graphical but also his experimental and scientific interests in one artistic concept. 

Special thanks to Carlo Grippa for mastering the tunes.
Recorded at Radialsystem, Berlin.

My Night With the Prostitute from Marseille - March of the Zapotec

To celebrate Piano Day I recorded a cover version of a piece from one of my favorite piano composers/performers, Michael Nyman.  This piece is titled "Molly" off of the wonderful score to the Michael Winterbottom film "Wonderland".

Max Cooper & Tom Hodge @ UM:LAUT - Fragments of Self (Live)

Microcosmos Records proudly presents “Type 1 Civilization,” the debut chill-out album from electronic music producer Noraus.

Many years ago the Russian scientist Kardashev defined three levels of civilization, based on the amount of energy a civilization is able to utilize.

A Type 1 civilization is able to utilize the energy that reaches its planet from a neighboring star, a Type 2 civilization can harness the energy of the entire neighboring star and a Type 3 civilization controls energy on the scale of its entire host galaxy.

Humanity is not even Type 1 yet. Reaching Type 1 is our way to prosperity.

This album could be a soundtrack for human evolution through technological progress.

Noraus immerses multilayered atmospheric soundscapes into warm fuzzy radio noise, positive emotions, computer signals and songs of the stars. And that ambient can be groovy! Listen as he produces a sound full of ethereal melodies, glitchy clicks and heartbeats. He takes you into a sci-fi cartoon about adventures in space.

Get yourself inspired with “Type 1 Civilization”!
