Max Cooper and Llyr explore the intersection of music and science in this live presentation of spatialised work for the 4DSOUND system.
Max Cooper has carved a unique space as an audio-visual artist with a science PhD and an international reputation as a leading electronic musician.
His work carries an emotional resonance and sensory immersion, often focusing on humanity’s place in the world. He merges electronic music and visual art with scientific enquiry through installations, live performance, immersive audio-visual experiences, a range of digital media and award-winning music videos.
Cooper’s impressive discography dates back to 2007, when he juggled studying Computational Biology with being resident DJ at a local techno club. He became the first techno artist to perform at the Acropolis in Athens, scored a powerful video narrated by Greta Thunberg and Pope Francis urging world leaders to consider climate and environment, has received commissions and collaborations with The Barbican, Zaha Hadid Architects, France TV, AND&, The Babraham Institute, L-Acoustics and reworked musicians including Philip Glass, Nils Frahm, Terry Riley, Michael Nyman, Hot Chip and Moby.
In 2016, he established Mesh, a platform to explore the intersection of music, art and science through interdisciplinary creative collaborations that incorporate a variety of digital media including AR, AI, VR, NFT, spatial audio and Dolby Atmos, as well as physical structures and live experience. With a growing global audience and engaged community of practitioners and activists, Mesh works with leading creatives in the fields of music, digital art, film, installation, code, architecture, to develop collaborations and commissions with businesses and arts and sciences institutions.
Llyr makes music and sonic ecosystems. A protagonist of total audio immersion, he creates experiences both visceral and thought-provoking through his productions, multi-channel sound installations, live shows and DJ performances. With one foot in the rave and the other committed to widescreen dynamics, dancefloor bangers sit side-by-side with textural ambient, sweeping harmonies and freeform electronica.
