Max Cooper is an electronic composer, multi-disciplinary artist 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. Synonymous with the evolution of club culture, Cooper honed his craft as a DJ with a 10-year residency at the legendary Firefly. Cooper has enquired for over 15 years to explore the intersections between the arts and sciences.

Catch him in Bristol for an evening of live audio visual immersion, this time he’s debuting his brand new show, Lattice. Comprising projections, semi transparent layers, lights and lasers working together in unison to form extruded imagery that jumps off the screens into the audience, wrapping them in sculptures of light which tell the story of Max Cooper’s latest ‘On Being’ album alongside back catalogue content and reworks.
