    Filmed at the debut 'Yearning for the Infinite' show at the Barbican in London on 28 September. Warning: this video contains flashing images!

    Max Cooper:
    "It was exciting to build this show for the Barbican. It’s one of my favourite venues in the world and they encouraged me to go big. So I turned the whole space into a multi layered canvas and set out to audio visualise the infinite. I collaborated with many visual artists and academics, each chapter using a different form of infinite visual structure on which I also based the music as a score. The result was an intense live show, somewhere between classical, techno, theatre and cinema. We couldn’t capture the true 3D effect of the semi transparent screen layers on film, but Tegid [Cartwright, the director] has done a great job showing the vibe of the evening, which was pretty special. Big thanks again to the Barbican, all of the visual and musical collaborators and team who helped put it all together, and everyone who came along to make it what it was."

    I was there and worked with Max on the last two tracks (Aleph 2 and Transcendental Tree Map, the latter with Nick Cobby). The entire performance was a spectacular collection of mind-bending ideas and visuals. Being literally surrounded by the videos (8 projection surfaces) made you feel like you were inside the music and inside Max's head. It's a dizzying place and I'd love to visit again.

    Dear Max Cooper,
    I will forever remember your performance at "Nuit des Docks" in Marseille back in 2014 I think.
    I was totally sober, got robbed 2 times trying to buy drugs, and thought that this party was going to hell !!!^^
    Then you came up on scene right after Nina's Kravitz set (if I am not mistaken), and I decided to surrender myself to your performance
    After this day I've been on a never-ending hunt to find a track that completely blew my mind.
    Then after 1 week, 1 month, I can't remember I finally found it : Nick Warren - Devil's Elbow - Max Cooper Remix
    Hand's down the most beautiful and out of this world electronic track !

      I like this: "I am a caveman watching 🔥 for the first time". I would like to use this metaphor in future references to self. However, rather than view oneself according to rank, I encourage you to view your work as a unique expression of self like no other caveman to come before nor after you.

It was at the beginning of the pandemic and me and my family were quarantining separately, I was alone and pissed drunk on some of the best wine I had because nobody knew what was coming next and I wasn't going to let that juice go to waste in what seemed like an impending apocalypse. I was listening to music on my TV at random on youtube late that night and his track Order from Chaos plays and then I just went down the rabbit hole, listening to his entire catalog; amazed.
    The music videos had me just as stupefied as the music. Keep it up and come to Texas!

Will I go? maybe not, but at least I can enjoy a live show (almost) from the comfort of my own home, and this performance is perfect for a late night Friday session 😃
