Max Cooper: "I wanted to try and render the cold dark void of emptiness with this chapter, which meant some darkroom industrial sounds, and lots of power.

Hi Max, I need your permission to use this music for my final project choreography. I love the sound you make and its give me an idea to create a choreography using this music. So I hope you could give me this permission.
i guess Im asking the wrong place but does someone know a way to get back into an Instagram account?? I was stupid forgot the login password. I love any assistance you can offer me.
@@Salman-Q It's 1080p, but the compression really obscures it in some parts. They should make a program that generates the video from scratch, could be much smaller than the video if done right and fully take advantage of whatever resolution you have.
hey max, i just wanna say that i've been super down/stressed recently as i'm adjusting to moving far from home and fending for myself. this week i discovered the visuals you've been putting out for yearning for the infinite and it brought me so much peace. i found myself drifting in and out of sleep, like passive meditation. i'm super grateful that you make music and put so much effort into constructing the aesthetics around your sound. it's really helped my mental health and i can't wait to catch you live at some point. all love.
This is the type of thing where I can only imagine someone fooling around a lot and eventually coming to this result. Can't comprehend how someone could visualize these effects and have any clue how to reproduce them.
If you mess around with drawing algorithms (python, processing) etc you start get stuff like this. The 2:58 part though is too fast for python in real time though. He's taken it to the next level though lol :)

Synaesthesias, aspergers, hppd, for some people is amazing, but others (like me) can just look at a grid pattern or the ground and start visualizing (or unavoidable seeing) undescribable mind blowing stuff, a lot of artists can imagine this kind of thing, its way more common than people think, i have hundreds of visualizations i still waiting to see somewhere irl, with meanings which abstract algebra allowed me to pleasure more. Thats why the split between maths, engineering, art, psychology and other social sciences has just split the brains of people in half, its damaging, artists should learn to code, coders should learn to make art. Im sure very probably, he visualized it, and then created (not the exact parameters obviously), but maybe not, and just stumbled upon it, but anyway, humans are a lot more diverse than neurotypicals believe.
@ Lovely comment. It's art, its so difficult to say something meaningful about the process of creation. Its mainly about the result for the viewer. He is such an amazing artist. His audio visual show from a few years ago was amazing to see live.
@ Just want to add to your comment that I'm on the spectrum, and watching videos like these results in the creation of completely new worlds and highly vivid imaginations and visualizations of concepts such as these, but sometimes even more ridiculously complex than what's shown in the video. My mind has always been that way, to the point where I could create and have entire movies play out in my imagination and daydream. It has its ups and downs. Certain mushrooms and similar substances can also result in creative ideas like these coming into fruition.

I've heard that the best way to become atheistic is through theology, but is it possible to become religious through the same mechanism by staying in academia for too long?
@@z0uLessanything studied deeply enough points back to God because it is fundamentally true that God is at the end of all things. It is from God that all things may begin.

emblem of an interior and exterior struggle, I have rarely heard such catchy music, this one reveals our warlike side, nice job max cooper this is real electro-techno rythmic, so expressive. new matrix music i say.
Max, I've just came across your videos and I absolutely love your work. I'm working on an idea where a drone synth changes events ie background colour on a screen when the pitch changes. This has given me a few ideas. Many thanks.
I absolutely love that you're generating a memorable artistic aesthetic around the burgeoning philosophies of emergentism, complexity, chaos - you could call it neo-organicism. What you do is fuckin' awesome.
@@user-nn9rs6ju1l Just what I said: emergentism, complexity, chaos (see the Sante Fe Institute for a lot of work in these domains). The aesthetic of the videos and the music that Max Cooper makes all call back to a particular kind of way of looking at the world. What you call a nascent philosophy. And this philosophy, which in my opinion began in the sixties with the Cyberneticians, is an informational (they literally invented information theory) or organizational way of looking at the world. No matter, no energy. Something purer and more transcendent than either. It disregards the divisions of natural science as artificial in favor of a holistic (or organic, or computational, or interdisciplinary) outlook on the structure of reality. That's where you get the constant motiff of fractals and mathematical/generative art from in all of these videos. The whole of nature is envisioned as one self-creative happening, moving forever from zero to one. More contemporaneously, I think Stephen Wolfram is at the forefront of this new scientific worldview (although I would also refer you to Francis Heylighen for more explicit philosophy). But the work Wolfram is doing began with his book 'A New Kind of Science' and is now extending itself to a really interesting and novel take on a fundamental theory of physics wherein the whole universe is envisioned as the product of cellular automata. Infinitely complex structures and elegantly simple rules. Whether you think it is CORRECT or not--regardless--these are the people taking the implicit philosophy of the 'information age' to its natural conclusion. Just as in the age of the advent of Newtonian mechanics, the premier intellectuals conceptualized the world as a grand clockwork, and this lead to a physical transformation in society too as the concepts of mechanization were implemented into industrialization. The growing creep of mathematization and computerization in all scientific fields speaks to a similar move into a new underlying ontology. And the outcome has been the same as the philosophy is implemented into the information revolution. AI is coming next.
In my personal opinion this is a much more fertile scientific worldview in terms of meaning than a mechanistic materialism every was, because it is fundamentally open to abstract concepts like love, happiness, and fear as irreducible organizational complexities. As opposed to breaking down the subject with a hammer into a mere object, non-reductivism (which is the maxim of emergentism) and likewise the epistemology of second-order cybernetics as well shows us that the dichotomy is more fluid, and it could just as well be said that the sword cuts the other way. All objects are subjective (though never arbitrarily parsed). It's a very rich philosophy, which is why I love it.

I feel as if i relate. Sometimes that can be the limiting factor as you attempt to visually translate symmetric elements to audio production and come up with something entirely different than intended.
