Over the past decade, Max Cooper has emerged as one of the UK's most innovative and interesting electronic producers, creating a body of work that leans heavily on natural themes and evocative soundscapes, and spans the realms of audio and visual arts. We visited Max in his studio following his recent Seme project, an EP and live performance that saw him bridging the gap between electronic music and modern classical. The piece was recently performed at both the Salzburg Easter Festival and London's Barbican.

Stay tuned for more In The Studio videos with Max in the coming weeks.
