Creating my latest album “On Being” was like finding a secret window into our collective psyche, and discovering amongst the chaos, pleasure and pain, so many experiences that we share at different times of our lives, and an overwhelming sense of emotions and connections that I had to explore. This track came from a quote that was so poignant I felt I had to remove some of it for the track title. The full quote being “I yearn for a child. Mother nature must have a different plan for me.” It’s such a delicate and intense statement, it hit me hard and stayed in my mind for many months before it presented itself musically in any way. I didn’t know how, or if I even should try to represent it musically. Watch the new project via link in bio with @zakoyanhayk and @tomvalbyrotary

The way I write music has always been very heavily focused on a full body experience (bass massages, space pads and panned clicks etc). So the extension of adding spatial audio was a natural one. It opened a lot of doors for storytelling.  I'm really looking forward to bringing my new 360 live / dj hybrid show to @Polygon_Live this weekend, I’ve got some space mangling things to try out and plenty of old favs. I hope you can join us.

I'll be hosting a Q&A album playback of my latest project - On Being on my Youtube channel tonight from 9-10pm UK / 10-11pm CET / 5-6pm EST (via link in bio) Please subscribe to my YT channel to set a notification for when it starts tonight. How it works is that I'll be answering any questions during the full album playback via the text portal. In tandem, we'll see the full breadth of expression of the inner thoughts submitted by asking  “what do you want to express that you feel you can’t in everyday life?." to my album website. I look forward to chatting with you all  You can explore the whole collection of quotes, ideas and contributors via onbeing.maxcooper.net (via link in bio) The text animation system is by @ksawerykomputery and the artwork by @minjeongart  On Being website by @thisismyengine

@rrhoover Some east coast on the way for August more info on that soon

When I Sit Alone. In My Thoughts. I Am Crushed. Watch my new video by the great @axonbody via link in bio The quote arrived on my album website after I asked “What do you want to express, which you feel you can’t in everyday life?”. Using thousands of anonymous quotes, my On Being album attempts to capture the experience of being human, now. This was one of the first quotes from the database that reached out and grabbed my guts and squashed them. I had to tackle it, and I immediately contacted @aho_ssan with the idea, because his approach to music contained some of the intensity and noise elements that I felt were needed to deliver the quote. It was submitted anonymously, so over the past few years I had a story in my mind about who submitted it and why. But then ahead of the Bristol show I heard from Robbie Evans, the writer of the words, who I met at the show. If any of you submitted any of the words in the project I’d love to hear from you so I can put a face to the name of the words I’ve spent my last 3 years with. The writing process began with a live improvisation on Void and Vista Folds, which formed the structure of the 7 minute sequence. I then jammed with my hardware synths and pedals to introduce the aggression, and sent everything to Aho Ssan, who mangled and layered on his special blend. The final touches came from a visit to Taichung, where recordings of the night market feature in the track, and finally, over compression to pump a sub bass into obliterating everything else to reach for some new chaos, for any you who have the full frequency response available. It was pure catharsis, and maybe not something many people will enjoy listening to, but that’s where the quote sent me, and hopefully it will be worthwhile for some of you.

Ahead of my DJ set this Friday 14 March at @kokoelectronic , here are three of my favourite club track moments. See you in the theatre this Friday alongside @AFRODEUTSCHE_AD , Jinjé & Pleizel. Final 300 tickets are now on sale.

The sea of quotes you submitted as part of my latest album project On Being, created in collaboration with Ksawery Komputery and Minjeong An are available via my link in bio and onbeing.maxcooper.net The submissions are in response to the question “what do you want to express that you feel you can’t in everyday life”? The words you sent hit me hard. After so many years expressing myself musically I was receiving many of the same feelings back, and the project became a new form of two way conversation for my creative process. There was such a huge array of human emotions there with feelings from love, longing, grief, pain, and misery to boredom and excitement - the full breathe of being. I choose specific quotes to work with for each track, wherever I could find a way to represent a particular idea or feeling musically. I spent a couple of years working on those translations, and I'll explain them all in detail over coming months as the visual collaborations come along.  I also wanted to be able to present the collection as a whole with Ksawery and Minjeong, so we built in installation version of the album which will tour in parallel to the live shows. This on being installation contains the entire collection of quotes and also allows you to add your own thoughts in real time to integrate into the wider project of our shared psyche. The point of all this being that it’s hopefully helpful, and enjoyable. Your words will also be coming on tour with me and feature in the live show.
