On Being By Max Cooper
Over a two year journey, the audio visual artist and electronic innovator Max Cooper, has inverted the creative process by collecting hundreds of anonymous quotes, posing a deep but open question, "What would you like to express which you cannot in everyday life?" The goal: to understand what it is like to be human now. The result: his incredible new album On Being: a unique work of art that demonstrates unequivocally not only the power of using music without words to express emotions, but the power of words to express what seemed to be inexpressible. On Being will continue to evolve as Cooper gathers more confessions to feed into this ecosystem of emotions and to create a new range of art projects and other accompanying works which hopefully will speak truthfully to humanity today - and of who we are and who we can become.
