Max Cooper brings his renowned Live show back to Bristol Beacon – an immersive fusion of electronic composition, conceptual storytelling and sculptural light.
A former computational biologist, Cooper has spent over 15 years exploring the meeting point of science and emotion through music, visuals and large-scale installations.
For this performance, his audio-visual system is tailored to the space, transforming the room into a shifting environment of colour, texture and precise, enveloping sound. Drawing on his acclaimed catalogue of conceptual albums, Cooper blends scientific ideas with human stories to create a transportive experience that sits between electronic concert, art installation and cinematic theatre.
