Max Cooper

Belfast-born, London-based producer Max Cooper isn't your average DJ/producer. The 42-year-old earned his Ph.D. in computational biology in 2008 and briefly worked as a geneticist. In 2010, he decided to focus on music production but didn't abandon science entirely. His music often mixes scientific references through its visuals. His latest album, Unspoken Words, which was accompanied by 13 short films commissioned and directed by Cooper, explores his own inner thoughts. On Friday, he's set to deliver his latest audio-visual spectacle at the Ground.
