3D/AV Live is Max Cooper's immersive audio-visual performance system.
Customised to every venue, with every show a unique experience, Max works together with architecture and space to deliver his unique blend of scientific and human stories that move off the screen to wrap the audience in sculptures of light and sound.
His visit to TOM will showcase Max’s latest album Feeling Is Structure plus material spanning Cooper’s celebrated catalogue, alongside new compositions that continue his exploration of the human experience through music.
Drawing on an extensive portfolio of conceptual album projects, the experience is catered to seated or standing events, classical or techno, given his rich catalogue of genre spanning musical and visual content. 3D/AV tells the story of the foundations of our world, and our place in it, as a living feeling experience.
"Go see him live, it's just an absolute wild experience" - Thomas Ravenscroft, BBC Radio 6 Music
"Jaw-dropping, and - the word is overused, but here it’s 100% valid - immersive" - Sonar
"Beautiful electronic music inspired by the natural world" - Vogue
About the artist
Max Cooper is an electronic composer, multi-disciplinary artist, music label founder and former scientist who has carved out a unique space in music and visual art.
He holds a PhD in computational biology at the same time as being the first contemporary electronic musician to perform at the ancient Acropolis theatre in Athens and one of the first clutch of musicians to produce in Dolby Atmos.
Cooper has enquired for over 15 years through music, collaborations, and his label Mesh, to explore the intersections between the arts and sciences with installations, performances, immersive experiences, online media, music videos and live events. Anchored throughout is his emotive approach, connecting how ideas and forms feel, in a manner accessible to us all.
"I've always had a strong emotive bond with aesthetics, and found at an early age that the purified forms of electronic music carried a lot of weight for me, as did the reductive natural aesthetics of the sciences. That felt connection to both opened up a world I've been lost in ever since."
Pivoting from computational biology to electronic music might not seem like the most natural career transition, but for Cooper the commonalities are obvious:"In both fields, you're in a sense, free. Free from the limits of living systems, free from the limits of corporeal sound. The only constraints are in your mind."
Max Cooper has collaborated with Zaha Hadid Architects, Dolby, L-Acoustics, 4DSOUND, Barbican Centre, W1 Curates, The Babraham Institute and exhibited work at museums including the Pompidou Metz, ZKM Karlsruhe, Museum Wave Seoul and The Science Museum London.
