An epic fusion of sound and imagery from the Jackson Pollock of music. Our Main Stage program kicks off with an immersive visual and aural spectacle created by visionary of contemporary electronica Max Cooper. See, hear and feel the canvas of East Perth Power Station reimagined with hypnotic beats and jaw-dropping digital art.

Max Cooper is an electronic composer, multi-disciplinary artist, music label founder and former scientist who has carved out a unique space in music and visual art. He holds a PhD in computational biology at the same time as being the first contemporary electronic musician to perform at the ancient Acropolis theatre in Athens and one of the first clutch of musicians to produce in Dolby Atmos.

Max has enquired for over 15 years through music, collaborations and his label Mesh, to explore the intersections between the arts and sciences with installations, performances, immersive experiences, online media, music videos and live events.  Anchored throughout is his emotive approach, connecting how ideas and forms feel, in a manner accessible to us all.

As an artist synonymous with the evolution of club culture, Max honed his craft as a DJ with a 10-year residency at legendary Midlands techno event Firefly where he formed a foundational relationship with Architecture Social Club, with whom he still collaborates on extravagant immersive installations.
