Max Cooper:
'With Me' is a little trip around New Zealand with a spacetime bending alien.
For the ‘Motif’ EP, I wanted to explore a range of typical club structures and genres with a bit of my own spice. Musically on “With Me” I went down a chord driven operatic garage experiment with Kathrin deBoer, with a theme of togetherness.
I started chatting video ideas with Michael McAffee and we decided to present the themes visually as us spending time with some otherworldly entities, usually invisible, living alongside us, but now revealed.
These aliens of sorts also don’t experience time and space as we do, so as we hang out with them, living from their perspective things start to get a bit weird.
Michael had a trip planned to New Zealand so his travels formed the basis of the setting with some epic results. It was a fun project to work on - many thanks to Kathrin and Michael for working on it with me.
Michael McAfee:
Max and I wanted to explore the idea of entities that travelled between & altered space and time with this piece -- As the video progressed, the severity of the rift in space-time would magnify. It seemed appropriate for the visual style of the creatures I design and it allowed me to experiment with compositing my creatures into live action footage.
To convey the idea of bending space and time visually, I found that capturing photogrammetry scans and HDRi images of the environment yielded very usable 3D geometry that I could manipulate in CG. Different parameters of the morphing environment are driven by audio stems of the track that Max provided, which made for some nice audio-visual moments.
3D debugging UI elements made their way into the glitch segments, which gave the feeling that these seemingly real scenes are actually the constraints of time & space that are breaking down. A good chunk of this was done in Unreal Engine thanks to the help of Vince McKelvie. Doing these segments in a video game engine allowed us to use custom-made shaders that generate feedback loops in realtime.
Everything is filmed handheld on a phone, on location in New Zealand - I wanted it to feel as if the footage captured were isolated sighting of these creatures. You’ll notice that lots of lens flares, handheld shakes, and general visual artifacts are retained in the footage which I thinks help sell the compositing work as well as the ‘random creature encounter’ vibe.

This is Max at its finest, changing our reality for a brief moments of time
Why do the visuals match it perfectly. It looks like a machine documentary and I love it
Max you really do have the privilege of working with some of the most incredible artists and we, the lucky ones, have the privilege of seeing the collaborations.
Thankyou
In terms of how technically amazing those videos are. It amazes me every time. I really have tu take my hat off to the people who produce the Video. Not to mention the amazing sound and the working of those 2 together. As always an amazing piece. It may even be even pieces of philosophy you are posting
Lucky is the person who can see Max Cooper live! Thank you!
@Max Cooper not once in a third of a century have I thought "I need 2 of this on vinyl so I can mix it with itself".
I need 2 of this on vinyl so I can mix it with itself.
Who are YOU !?
This music is... indescribable, stimulating and wow
Time and space bending, elevation, togetherness. Feels good.
Brilliant Musical Work. Interesting style, vocals, impressive atmosphere and Fantastic Video. What a pleasure to listen and watch.
This was absolutely amazing.
Incredible stuff again from Max. Just gets better with every release!
this is the engagement of the left and right, for the moment, hemespherics of the minds mind, at working of details unfathomable to our current states making, and therefor taking!
💙💜
The video reminds me a lot of Aphex Twin - T69 Collapse, definitely in a good way 👌
Yeah I definitely see it now😮
This Video was created by Michael McAffe, AFX Collapse’s Visuals were done by Weirdcore. But sure, they are pretty similar.
A man of culture
What an incredible song and the video is exquisite
Wild forms, I love the UI breakdown revealing the assets in the scene too !
This is the genre of art that discovers new actual mega discoveries first while keeping their origins hidden eternalizing them therefore as myths.
Impeccable as usual! Thanks Max!
God tier song and video
Man always delivers the best audio-visual experience
Bizarren und fantastisch!!!
Impressive and non-stopping ! Thanks Max & Miss DeBoer !
Absolutely gorgeous
Why isn't the vocalist also in the credits? Her voice contributes as much to this as Max's production and Michael's visuals.
maybe it's ai generated
I believe it's Kathrin Deboer, She's credited on spotify
Adding female vocals to a song like this just risks the reintroduction of our breathy friend, Enya. Hopefully he releases an instrumental of it. T69.
Mesmerizing 👏
So beautiful ty!
Absolute beauty of a track and journey!
incredible video
Pushing the limits again of visuals! Consistent gems from this channel!
Gave me goosebumps.
Wow!❤❤❤
a masterpiece of art and music
A masterpiece! Max at his best! WOW!
Wow thats such a masterpiece 🤩🔥
This universe is but a dream.
A consciousness-computed scenario in which we play pretending to be individual beings for a while,
until it all fades away and we get back to experience the Eternity we are together.
I like this cooper person, vibes of EDM, mixed with brian Eno...Flawless Victory!💖😎
👏👏👏👏👏 such incredible work!
It's like pulling back the curtain on reality. Brilliant work.
a glimpse of a future
amazing! A masterpiece
awesome!
Amazing 🙌🙌❤️
Glad to see a huge development ☺️
Oo. I can feel a vibe from Moby - In My Heart at the beginning.
And here's kids, what happens when you mix LSD with psilocybin!
Mega challenge demands mega dosage!
If you smoke DMT while on LSD and open your eyes as early on as you can, this is what the world looks like to me. It's like seeing another dimension overlayed over our own. I guess. If interested they recently released a video with the participants from the DMTx study at London Imperial and one of the guys was saying he's at a point where he can keep his eyes open while on DMT and walk around in this world while still perceiving and interacting with the other side. If that's the direction this is headed in, that's gonna be wild.
@@shamanic_nostalgia watch Kirsanov on perceived dimensions (3 objective, 3 imaginary and a few to compare these). He has a video on "social" part of it (checking out the other bat to act accordingly). Yes, visual cortex links more things up and does it in all-encompassing manner these short hours/minutes, for sure, so, for sure, one can vividly use that 3D of imagination only. That's not 11D though (look up "brain works in up to 11D" article- actual binary axes of groups of up to 11 neurons activated together- is how our brain works). More elsewhere; preparing computer mega model (AND I REQUIRE PSYCHEDELIA EVERYWHERE FOR THIS.)
Ah yes serotonin syndrome
Ooooooooooo I like that a lot !
Maravilloso!!
Lots of weird creatures. 🤩👍
this made me tear up
Hallo Max, Super Video & klasse Mukke..
👽
Wild music video!
I feel as I was born to just hear this masterpiece. I am home.
soooo surreal
Please come back to Australia, I missed the show!
Very cool
🔊❕🔊❕⚡️
COOLIDGE!!
Bonkers !
Спасибо!
Ets el millor de totes les coses boniques i creatives del planeta Terra!!!!
Wow
Mega geiler Song.
Truly fantastic work. It's both tantric and transcendental. This is exactly the kind of art that thins the veil. Parts of this viscerally resemble what our world looks like on high doses of LSD or DMT and you begin to actually visually perceive the higher dimension overlayed upon our own.
Fantastic Max....I hope we will get to buy this via a blu ray release with Dolby Atmos, soon.
UA-cam compression said bye
🔥
u not from around here :):):):) Love it Max! Thumbs UP!
💚
This immediately reminded me of a brian eno quote:
“Whatever you now find weird, ugly, uncomfortable and nasty about a new medium will surely become its signature. CD distortion, the jitteriness of digital video, the crap sound of 8-bit - all of these will be cherished and emulated as soon as they can be avoided. It’s the sound of failure: so much modern art is the sound of things going out of control, of a medium pushing to its limits and breaking apart. The distorted guitar sound is the sound of something too loud for the medium supposed to carry it. The blues singer with the cracked voice is the sound of an emotional cry too powerful for the throat that releases it. The excitement of grainy film, of bleached-out black and white, is the excitement of witnessing events too momentous for the medium assigned to record them.”
― Brian Eno, A Year With Swollen Appendices
Seeing the hot colour, pixellated moving blurs of a broken divx video file made this feel oddly nostalgic. Fantastic!
I was going to switch & watch Issac Arthur, "Interstellar Infrastructure." ❤
instant max cooper classic
I didn't realize this was photogrammetry + HDRi at first, impressive results. This now makes me wonder what results photogrammetry + ai genart could do. Hueman Instrumentality on youtube makes some really cool ai genart music videos. Ai art is great at creating interesting filters for textures. There's also RunwayML's Gen3, which excels at video of untextured 3d models -> video with textures. AI music videos tend to lack a certain fidelty due to ai models not understanding the form of the subjects they're being applied to, photogrammetry + ai could potentially be best of both worlds.
Living in a 4D world like.
Träumchen
always better
Ohhh dayum nice timing. I'm switching to my good screen, but in the meantime it looks similar to the creatures Bjork has Invisioned for similar context
dude animating Displacement, chiiilll
With you
Antihalation-ish. Awesome.
burial vibes
Zippin, zappin, and zankin
Awesome BUT you should upload in 4K ! UA-cam compression is ruining the image ! It's a shame for such an amazing clip
What are the lyrics to this song? How can we exclude the power of Kathrin??!! I'd like to know what the lyrics are for this song and also for vertebrae. Thanks.

Demoscene and debug render vibes :)
Looks like I won't be sleeping tonight...
Cause I'll be listening to Max Cooper! =)
Were you even trying to get the Fluid and Movement Physics accurate?
1:02 reminded me of Aphex Twin - On
I thought the same thing! I think it is the same location.

please re-upload in fake 4k .. UA-cam has compressed the quality very much
Normally that's when I go over to vimeo to see the less compressed version, but looks like he hasn't uploaded to vimeo yet.

прикольное поражение.
