Max Cooper

About

Max Cooper isn't just a DJ; he's a sonic architect, meticulously crafting immersive experiences where electronica collides with science and art. This Belfast-born, London-based producer and PhD holder in Computational Biology, blurs the lines between the dancefloor and the laboratory, forging a unique path within the electronic music landscape. His sound, a heady mix of melodic techno, IDM, and ambient soundscapes, owes as much to Aphex Twin and Brian Eno as it does to Richie Hawtin and Boards of Canada. Cooper's breakthrough came with early EPs on Traum Schallplatten and his debut album "Human" in 2014, establishing his signature blend of emotionally resonant melodies and intricate sound design. What truly sets him apart is his dedication to visual spectacle. His live performances, often incorporating custom-built visual installations and collaborations with digital artists, transform his music into a multi-sensory odyssey. Beyond the club, Cooper's influence extends into experimental film, with projects like "Emergence," a short film exploring philosophical ideas through stunning visuals and his signature sound. He's collaborated with the Barbican Centre, the ZKM, and numerous art festivals. Continuing to push boundaries, Cooper's recent releases explore themes of identity and connection in the digital age, reaffirming his position as a leading innovator at the intersection of music, science, and art.
