Years of love and pain and bliss and punishment go into making an album and then its release day and it needs to be summarised in a few words…..I can’t be other than I am, and this is how it’s been sounding as I tried to make a soundtrack for a space with a focus on structures that confer meaning to me.
Every track is a different musical and visual and live environment structure which I’ll be delving into in coming weeks with some spoken and written explainers and collaborations to show you.
For today there’s a website with the chapters released so far explained, and for today “The Shape of Memory” with Factory Fifteen where we used photos of important memories submitted by listeners, and they turned them into something of the abstracted incomplete 3D flythrough of the memory of or shared lives.
Many thanks for having a look and a listen it really is appreciated in these days of shortform interaction x
I’m happy to say we’ll have @echojulietdj , @mac.seldom , @diamond.sound and @robclouth joining across the Feeling Is Structure shows in May.
All four create their own beautiful versions of electronic music and I’m looking forward to hearing the sets.
Dates and supports are on the poster, if you’d like to join us.
Big love and thank you to all of you who joined for the first show from the next album AV project Feeling is Structure. It was a special one at Royal Albert Hall ❤️
A snippet from Ebb + Flow with the great @yoshisodeoka here. We used projections into haze to make 3D structures outside the semi transparent screen layers and projections around the venue walls as well to expand everything out…it’s been a massive effort from everyone involved many thanks to @architecturesocialclub@_digi_pad for the show design and delivery collaboration, @the_wild_seeds@meshmeshmesh_@littlebigbooking@broadwicklive for the delivery, all the visual artists I’ve been working with (lots more to show you soon there) and big thanks to @haaihaaihaai for the amazing show too 👌

Preview of a forthcoming audio-visual collab with @sorcery_music and @kc_yawp as part of the new album (in bio link)….it became a bridge between mine and Merlin’s different musical worlds, a bridge between genres I’ve been using to transition between dnb and techno (it can mix into both), and a bridge between dance and painting with a choreographed sequence of poses holding the pieces of art in sequence….so it became “this is a bridge”…..as the structure from Feeling is Structure LP

Max Cooper’s Feeling Is Structure album tour comes to Liverpool Philharmonic on Tuesday 19 May.
Customised to every venue, with every show a unique experience, Max (@maxcoopermax )works together with architecture and space to deliver his unique blend of scientific and human stories that move off the screen to wrap the audience in sculptures of light and sound.
After joining us for a masterclass last month, where he shared insights into his fascinating projects, we can’t wait to see what he has in store for the Hall.
“Beautiful electronic music inspired by the natural world” - Vogue
“Jaw-dropping, and - the word is overused, but here it’s 100% valid - immersive” - Sonar
“Le Jackson Pollock de la musique” - La Libre
A Music Beyond the Mainstream concert, with support from Rob Clouth.
I had the best chat with @nemonemetaxas at @bbc6music , as part of the ‘Journeys In Sound’ series.
Not the usual quick blast we spent over an hour delving in to get to the interesting things, formative music and unanswerable questions…many thanks to Nemone for taking the time, and thanks for having a listen if you do, it will be airing on Wed 13 May at 11pm UK time and then on the iPlayer streaming for a month.
