Broken Machines Broken Dreams. Procedural creation and physical destruction by Optical Arts.
MAX COOPER:
In this chapter of the Unspoken Words story I wanted to explore the beauty and form and feeling of physical mechanisation, and the limits of the machines where things start to strain and become more human. Optical Arts studio created this amazing video, built from machines building art. The cover image of the video is one of the pieces created during this process.
I was interested in how straining machines can make them feel more human, pushing my synths to uncomfortable and chaotic behaviours and artefacts which for me were full of feeling, and I asked Optical Arts to try the same - you can see some examples of breaking drills and generally a process of creation via destruction. They did an amazing job precisely syncing the many layers of audio to the visual scenes, and making beautiful shots and art from the machines.
Musically, I worked with feelings of playful creation and a touch of sadness. It was another example, as with Spectrum, where the words describing the piece don’t feel entirely correct, and don’t seem to be compatible, but again, can fit without contradiction emotively when communicated musically.

OPTICAL ARTS:
The film explores notions of rhythm, consciousness and celebrates the freedom in losing control; the beauty of deciding one's own path.
We are often consumed by the monotony and repetitive nature of everyday life. ‘Broken Dreams, Broken Machines’ portrays the idea that if we decide to let our imagination and thoughts run wild - we could find a new comfort and rhythm in the freedom of it. In Max Cooper’s words: ‘it is about letting go and accepting a slightly odd yet harmonic resolution’.
To visually address these themes we used CNC machines. What happens when computer numerically controlled machines, the most methodical, repetitive and controlled instruments, start to daydream?

They seem to be working very well actually
Thanks I needed a chuckle 😃, good comment 👍.
As for the dreams, well that’s a different story 😂
Hydraulic Press Channel, 10 years from now...
This is a beyond wonderful video. I cannot even begin to describe my pleasure in viewing it.
Check out lab leak hypothesis, they released their first track called +2. Very progressive! Their video is killer too, I did it!
I don't... I don't think I'm supposed to be here.
As a machinist, 10/10
This pairs perfectly with “FC Kahuna - Hayling”, I wonder if this was inspired by it. Amazing work!
My heart and my brain loves your music so much
beautiful
❤
Watching this makes me feel German for a split second. Funny that.
The singularity is near..
Machines have feelings too.

This is my favorite piece of the whole album. So many nuances in both the sound and the visuals. I love it.
We are machines. Watching machines. Watched by a machine? Why?
amazing Max cooper🤍
Fucking brilliant like always
This is peak creative content, i am so in love with this kind of stuff where you don't know who support who, the music or the clip... Amazing, gg
Прекрасно!)
This song and video really capture the beauty that can be found in imperfection.
Amazing!...Mesmerising + Epic video Max! 🎥🔥💗...⚙🔩
Awesome album!! 💿💜
Robots of the future will consider this as a peak art of human heritage
uffff perfect!
Much Love this🙌🙌❤️
Класна музика і візуал
All was going well until the standard drum beat came in, left out this would be a magnificent IDM type track with more than enough rhythm...
I find that Autechre - LCC goes really well with it and significantly changes the mood of the video
what is happening
Magnificent
wow awesome )
Kick!!!
🎋
WoW!
Incredible sound !!
I watched this thrice. The second time I actually saw the Michelangelo moment. The third video I watched was NIN this isn't the place, then watched this a third time. The third time I watched it I could confirm at least three Michelangelo moments, around 3. Also confirmed that this compliments nin's ...place excellently. Dad was a mechanical engineer, and I know machine tool shops. Word to the wise, don't mix magnesium & aluminum filings. I spent some summer weekends sweeping the shop as a kid. I never had any burns tho'. Yeah, separate the filings is the top warning for the uninitiated, up there w safety equipment & loose clothing. I love that you managed 3D art in your video process, and that corner of your eye 'puti,' are embedded into the materials at those ambiguous Michelangelo moments, the machines allowing the angels to escape from being hidden inside the material.
This song was my favorite part of your show at the Fonda in LA 2023.
sheee-itt!!!
Very nice
От души, братуха!
Great track, great video, great coupling for synesthetes
♡
Amazing Video as always! Keep it up Max Cooper!
Perfect to read Kurzweil's work
Intrinsically satisfying to watch.
imagine sending CAD drawings and mesh files to your music video director!
Only gcode!!!
Joji modus vibes from this
Ммм, чпу фрезеровочка)

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
That looks like a Zortax 3D printer. Is it?
No it looks to be an Ultimaker S5, and they need to tune their supports :/
@@DominePiger I thought that the dodgy white supports might be a soluble PLA, hence the Zortax assumption. I guess, though, any dual-extruded could do similar. Plus, it ain’t black :P
