Stream / Buy 12" Vinyl Earth EP: ffm.to/spike
Here’s the third track from my Earth EP, with some microsounds and microorganisms. I hope you enjoy it.
Max Cooper:
I had a lot of fun with polyrhythms and cheeky synth noises with this one after a first play with the new Summit synth from Novation. I tried to carry that playful vibe through the track and keep it stripped back to let all the little jams and spatialised wurbles have their own place in the mix, only finally descending fully into the pads and chords late on. It was nice to have a more stripped mix than usual to let the little granular modulations and glitches each have their own space and clean reverb tails.
There isn't any conceptual link between the music itself and the Earth theme of the EP for this track, all I did was chat to the visual artist Yoshi Sodeoka about the themes of earth-bound growth processes which had gone into the EP as a whole, and he tied many sounds of the music to animated expansion processes and abstracted microbiological form in order to tie everything together. Sometimes it's nice to rely on the visual artist to build the conceptual link when I just want to experiment with weird noises with a new synth.
Yoshi Sodeoka:
Max invited me into this project during COVID lockdown in NYC, when illustrations of viral forms were unavoidable - they terrified me then, and they terrify me now. I wondered how I might transform my shaky feelings into something positive and hopeful.
Lately I've been making a lot of audio-reactive generative works using a technique based on reaction diffusion. I realized that the pulsing rhythmic structure of "Spike" makes it a perfect audio track to synchronize with a visual improvisation on the impulse and evolution of imaginary microorganisms.
The visuals grew from a few seeds of graphic and audio information that was animated, then mutated by automatic video feedback. Feedback generates more feedback, it becomes self-organizing, and it continues to generate forever unless it is instructed to stop. Like evolutionary processes in nature, making the visuals this way is often unpredictable and beyond control.
This work is not a metaphor for Earth's processes, nor is it meant as an illustration of Max's music. I'd like to think of it as a way to confront the contagion and get free of lockdown, a lively voyage into a colorful inner terrain of image and sound.

Max Cooper is the YT compression algorithm's most fearsome enemy.
Aaaahahaha I was just re-watching the Aleph 2 video and thought the same thing.
Someone needs to share his codec secrets, this shit is crisp
@@djvoid1 right. like what the fuck.
You already know that this is good
You already know that I know that this is good
This made me laugh because my first reaction to it was "well obviously" just further proving your point
I was about to post exactly that 🤠
undoubtedly
Max for the love of god you need to calm down.
10/10
nah.
-How many times did you watch this?
-Yes…
Stunning piece of art🙏 thank you for your job!
Max is such a big inspiration. My dream is to nearly reach his level of creative output one day. 😭
This music video is so beyond perfection, it catches the mind perfectly, I smiled to whole time. Thank you !
MDMA tu tu tuuuu tuuuu duuu duuuuuuu duuu :'D
@@maxweidl2711 Why not but not needed. Can have feelings without drgs 😊
Yeah, it's electronic psychedelia at it's best.
@@maxweidl2711 Acid ! Budum Tssss !
reminds me of the fractal days, all good tripping 😉
imagine seeing this for 8 hours and then it slowly fades away and you come back to reality on earth...
U talking bout acid right
@@YourHighnessssss Shrooms does the same thing to me
DMT?
Holy shit I am in awe. You never fail to amaze me but this is one of your best ever, and that's a pretty high bar to clear. Yoshi's work here is also genius, would love to see more collabs with him!
Every single frame of this video is an absolute work of art. Truly incredible!
Two amazing minds coming together, I think this is my favourite work of Max and Yoshi, wow
Incredible! I'm in awe, more than usual.
Absolutely one of a kind track. So darn good!
my father used to say: "close your eyes. more does not belong to you."
I like that saying.
Can you explain what this means?
@@SerratedPVP I also wanna know
@@SerratedPVP for me this means that nothing belongs to you. Furthermore I believe that we are just mere visitors in this time and our being. Every atom will sooner or later change its state. With this perspective you can view things as gifts.
@@SerratedPVP Well, his intention was to let me know he was the boss and as long i am living in his house i own nothing and should follow orders.
Neither him nor me had thought that nowadays the place i go, when i close my eyes, is utterly more than black emptiness but a universe, i can never get enough of.
These Videos of Max are pretty nicely remembering these worlds.
All of your tracks & the artists you find for the visuals are next level. Would love something like this at a festival as the sun fades to dusk
Thank you for your work!!

Your videos always find a way to perfectly complement the music.
Reminds me of early childhood, every texture a new wonder, daylight blown out, and the simplest of things just pure. Innocent world then.

I can no longer watch nature and evolution of biology documentaries in the same way because of Max
