Know someone who still needs convincing that electronic music is an art? Just take them to a Max Cooper show. Almost certainly the only working electronic artist with a PhD in computational biology, he’s spent 15 years using his scientific background to dream up shows that bridge the gaps between clubs, concert halls, and art galleries. A constant innovator, he’s long been inspired by the natural world, scientific phenomena, and mathematical models. But on latest album On Being, due out in February 2025, he flipped the script, instead using thousands of anonymous quotes from his fans as inspiration. To accompany the record, he’s preparing a brand new live AV show featuring some exciting new additions to his arsenal. We can’t wait to experience it at Sónar Lisboa 2025.
