Max Cooper:
"I had a lot of high speed train journeys recently and I love watching the wires seemingly dance around outside the window. I wondered if we could be getting fooled by a similar process during our usual experience of time, and thought it would be an interesting project for a music video set to the music created during the same journeys.
The wires outside the window are static but they appear to move because of our motion past them. Perhaps our usual experience of movement could be explained by a similar process, where time is a physical dimension into which everything grows, with the present as the surface of this inflating structure. It ties in to a lot of physics ideas which are very common, and I thought it could make for an interesting music video, if I could find someone who might be able to pull it off!
Luckily for me, one of my favourite visual artists, Kevin McGloughlin had already been experimenting with linked techniques and ideas, and he's gone to town on it with a multitude of techniques and editing precision to create something pretty special. And yes, there's certainly a nod to the original time-stretch slitscan effects of Kubrick's 2001.
I wanted to show the transition from our normal experience of time to a stretched out past as a physical structure when viewed from an alternative perspective outside of the dimensions we're usually constrained to.
One other interesting thing about this model of time is that it helps with some mind-pickling metaphysical conundrums around the sense in which the past exists. In this model it literally exists out there behind us as a physical 4D structure. If we could travel outside of our growing surface somehow and went back to the past it wouldn't be much fun though, we'd just find solid lifeless stretched out versions of ourselves.
For the music I wanted to bring these ideas of frozen moments of the past into play, and no better excuse to get stuck in with the Prophet 6 on some lush classic analogue synth sounds for the main chord sequence, and plenty of nob noodling for a dance of modulating sounds around the main sequence. I wanted to keep it fairly sparse to let the chord patch be central, and just focus on trying to make every element, including the percussion, warp a little, so you can either listen to the track from a distance and hear the harmonic ideas, or delve in to find all sorts more hiding in there. Kevin did an amazing (and painstaking) job of warping the video to sync with the audio detailing."
Kevin McGloughlin wrote about the project:
Max Cooper and I discussed ideas about space-time before embarking on the Resynthesis project.
We were on the same page for the most part, though, working with Max is always insightful and he enlightened me with some really fascinating ideas about space - time.
I was delighted to once again collaborate, especially with reference to 'time', which is such a relatable and unavoidable part of everyone and everything.
The track is really beautiful, I saw the visuals in the music quite clearly from the offset.
I could hear the 'time stretching' in the melodies and synths and I was greatly inspired by it.
My aspiration in this piece was to create a journey for the viewer, a passage through space and time, in an effort to represent time as a dimensional structure.
I aimed to convey existence as a solid component of time, an effort to glimpse the idea that our past still exists out there in a stretched, distorted dwelling..
I wanted to capture a human / mortal essence of time, displaying brief impressions of human interactions and activity, traveling in time.
All the fundamental assets were captured employing photography and realtime footage.
I stretched time in both 3d and 2d space using a wide variety of time displacement techniques, ranging from 'in camera' work to quite laborious post production work.
Fun Fact..Some of the clips contain exactly one googol videos playing simultaneously.
(using a method I devised some time ago*, ie.the second last very short clip)
Most of footage/photography was shot in Dublin Ireland, with additional shots from Co. Sligo.
Working with Max always makes for an interesting time.

Max Cooper Beautiful track and amazing video
This is my favorite sound track on earth !!! :)
Hi I’m 16 n Very interested in starting to learn the computer skills needed to creat visuals like this for videos , was just wandering what this form of animation / video editing is called / what software you use to creat it ? Cheers
Awesome.😧😧😧😧😧😧😧😧😧🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
I'm Inn. How you're doing. Nice Taste. Max Cooper ist the Boss Cooper for Coopers who coop araunf🤗🤗🤗🤗
i wish i could find people irl who can appreciate all the stuff i like, like this.
hi i'm what you've been looking for
+1, walking on acid
We're here
Konichiwa
We're here.... but on the interwebs :)
I would love to see a show of this music and the visuals in an IMAX cinema
pls yes
Whilst tripping my tits off on 2-cb
Lampfish omg didn’t knew I needed that before but I sure do now damn that would be awesome. Or imagine while nexus flipping...
@@emoritzi ever tried candy flipping and nexus flipping at the same time? Acid, 2-cb and a pill was the craziest trip I've ever had
@@lampfish5434 Haha not yet, i read that lsd and 2cb isnt a great combo and thought (still think) that a candyflip and nexusflip are great, but very different Combos on its own.
I'm tripping balls right now, and I REALLY needed this
It's so fucking soothing.
Dropped this gem at an afterparty recently. Was happy to share this with friends in a chill setting while ppl were coming down.
Why is it that every time I watch a Max Cooper video, it feels like I'm on some experimental drug, existing in a dimension I was never supposed to be in?
Few times I see such a well put together audiovisual effort where neither the video or the music are competing for all the attention, but instead, they both are in harmony and synchronicity to bring a fantastic voyage!
I've never visuals and editing so in tune with a song before, amazing
That's literally what max cooper makes music for
Listen to some of his talks on how he prepares for shows and arranges music to go to visuals
Tyler Misuraco can you please link or direct me to a video?
@@tophan5146 give me a bit I'll comment about it when I get home
@@tophan5146 max cooper behind the scenes: barbican
This guy is a fucking genius, it's like a song where three songs are running simultaneously, every Max Cooper is an out of this world experience
never seen something like this!
music and video are incredible
The most incredible music video I've ever seen. Simply stunning.
try
Weval - Someday
@@MrSuperkoteman i really came here to recommend the same video
@@MrSuperkoteman Yes, that one might be even more impressive, or T69 Collapse by Aphex Twin. However, the music video of Resynthesis is outstanding, so pleasing for the brain!
Came back to this song after almost 2 years, and have to say, it's beyond music. Incredible creation
Try jon hopkins?
This is so good. It is criminal how radio stations don't play this quality music more often!
it's all ok once you realise the whole purpose of this clip is to create as much enjoyment as possible
This is one of the fucking coolest music videos I've ever seen
The synth and kick at the beginning are so nice, I almost didn't want the song to develop any further
Friend: hey a new max cooper music and video by that super trippy/talented dude came out
Me: RELEASE THE LSD
Je me balade sur youtube et qu'est ce que je vois
haha same
where's my amyl? Hey, has anybody seen my amyl?
Sometimes i play stuff like this in the car with the windows down and if i saw someone else doing that I’d flip because it’s rare to find people who appreciate music like this
Or people that ride with their windows down.....
whatever drugs kevin mcgloughlin's on
Give them to me. Now.
I hope there's enough for me brother
Dmt hit?
@@rhmotes can confirm. Was LSD
@OldMcNessie HadALoch in 200 years they will be the most important stuff in our world. there is so much potential
It is most definitely ketamine at a k hole dose.
Music should be a reflection of who someone is, and none of us can be put into a neat box which defines that - so true, Max!
Omg the beauty of this channel just feels like THIS is the music i have been looking for. I feel so bored of youtube lately, and this kind of content gives me so much hope thank u ! 💖
It is rare to see such a perfect symbiosis between two artists, esp when it's not audio-audio but rather audio-visual.
This is one of those occurences. It's nothing short of a privilege to be able to witness this. Thank you both, and everyone else involved.
This is clearly some match made in heaven
Holy shit this video. I once found myself lucid while asleep in the state between dreams where there is just nothing/darkness. I experienced how dreams spring into existance from that place and how my mind creates them. This is the most accurate description of that experience I have ever come across.
That one part with the lights, I like that
Tickle my brain real good.
Whoa just read the entire description section. Mind blown🤯 One time when I smoked a small hit of DMT I experienced the 'slices'of time. Do recommend
“On this episode of How It’s Made we’ll be taking a look at Lysergic Acid Diethylamide.”
When will they show how LSD is made?
@@joestreamerpunk5523 when it's the 60s again
Each time I discover some new stuff from Max Cooper, I am excited and happy. Always so mesmerizing and original.
This is certainly the new wave! We can smell it.
This is just beautifully done, and opens my eyes to a whole new genre of visual imagery. I can only imagine what this would look like on the VisionPro. This is tailor made for the Las Vegas Sphere as well.
"Disintegrate Slowly" by The Glitch Mob synchronises (almost) perfectly with the vid (on mute). I don't want to take away from Max's awesome music because I'm a huge fan.
All the videos so far are a piece of art.
the visuals are so impressive. kudos to the maker. It's an excellent addition to the track.
It's like deadmau5 glitching while producing, and i absolutely love it
I like Max cooper's sounds. gorgeous, cool
I recall the the time after midnight where I stumbled upon this gem whilst rolling. I just kept staring at my screen, being motionless and hypnotized by the visuals and melody. I snapped out of it when the song was over and replayed it but this time dancing in my garden. I was free and roaming the skies of bliss.
On repeat!!
Seeing the same world just at different speeds and perspective opens up other dimension. Thank you for making such a video.

Wow this is absolutely gorgeous
Amazing!
That was awesome! I love reading your processes. I love watching your video in a completely darkened room with ear phones on. Cheers for your amazing work. Now I'm going back to watch and listen to your awesomeness again a few times. Cheers guys! I always love your work.
Desfragmentación espacio-tiempo, reacomodación al ritmo de bits …..Arte/Ciencia….Experimentando con los patrones de la MALLA del universo…….
Hermoso trabajo, sorprendido…encantado MUY AGRADECIDO con las obras que construyes
Un fuerte abrazo
Literalmente mis pensamientos, te recomiendo los vídeos de Cyriak 👍
@@victorklnt794 gracias por la recomendación...voy directo a ver
so I went to college to learn this kind of stuff but and I know how he did some things in this video but im actually generally baffled on how you'd create some of these effects.
could you elaborate on some name of the effects on how to find more stuff like these and tutorials on how to do so please :)
def with code
I think its a mixture of blender and videos, and the effects are adaptet to the source video
@@gunwedIt looks like to me, that they manipulated the source footage in a 3D software(blender, Houdini, Maya, take your pick) to create these crazy light spirals. They would take the 2D footage and duplicate several times back into 3D space. They would pair this with clever animation and blending of the images(additive, or screen mode by the looks of it) to get the different animated patterns that we see. The easiest way to do this would be to use procedural animation(based on scripting/or programing), because doing this by hand would be nigh impossible. Take all of this with a grain of salt, because I actually don't know for sure how they did it, but this is my educated guess.
@@troutfish8590 that sound pretty good in my opinion thank you so much for elaborating :)
inspiring work from both! always looking forward for more.
The video editing on all your videos are insane! Always bringing something different to the table, this is true art.
MASTERpiece!
Absolutely amazing! Highly underappreciated.
best video ever
It's like traveling through time and tune...
Absolutely stunning!
this is so next level!!! i've never seen video production like this, and it really fits the song, which is also amazing. genius
I started by listening to a Floating Points mix, and I was blessed by some of the dopest music from artists I'd never heard of. Two or three Max Cooper songs came on - great stuff!!!
This is so good. The melody & harmonies of the rhythmic synth(resynthesis)are so beautiful.
can't wait to see this in real life this weekend at sónar! 💝❤🔥🍬🍭
Talent on both sides every time with max cooper , absorbing visuals and audio , love it
My heartbeat started to pulse in sync with the beat of this song.
Such a piece of gorgeous art. Love it!
Simply brilliant
Excellent!!!
Beautiful music + amazing visuals = perfection
I'd never seen Dublin through this perspective! Amazing! Perfect song
my two favourite MC clips both by Kevin McGloughlin. thank you both!
Oh wow man perfect sound with the perfect track love it
This still sends shudders down my spine, in a good way over a year later.
Thanks, Max Cooper!!!
dude you are so so so creative and your style is just absolutely sublime. I love your work

Yaaay a new Max Cooper music video to trip out to! :D

Max you're awesome, and Kevin bravo!
Wow! So many questions on how Kevin pulled this amazing video out of his mind. Not lessening the absolutely brilliant and perfect track it's set to.
MAGNIFIQUE !!
Heavy trip !!!!! Awsm
The space is actually homogeneous, and you can take something one and something else and create everything you want from it, the main thing is to be able to.
And the Magic are starting at this moment
Max, it's very effect. So hard work..
Damn, what a masterpiece...
AWESOMATIC!!!!!!!!!!
your videos are great man super glad i came across this channel
The name "Max Cooper" represents perfection: what an amazing song & video :)
Amazing
La verdad todos tus vídeos me parecen muy bonitos tanto la música como el vídeo son muy bueno y se nota un verdadero esfuerzo en que todo concuerde de una manera muy satisfactoria 10/10 ❤️
Great done! Nice idea of visual art!
yes lad! great tune
Awesome chillaxing tune 👍
