Max Cooper

Max Cooper comes to Rough Trade East, London, on 23 June 2026 for an in-conversation and signing around his new album, Feeling Is Structure, released on Mesh. Born from a commission for the Royal Albert Hall, the project probes how physical form shapes emotion. Across ten spatial audio-visual pieces, Cooper traces connections between sound design, architecture, biology and visual art, asking how structure guides the way we feel.

A producer known for detailed rhythms and meticulous sound worlds, Cooper leans here into deliberate composition: carefully built systems and processes that grow into evolving sonic architectures. The record foregrounds his ongoing dialogue between art and science — those mappings between structures and feelings that tint everyday experience. This event offers a look inside his methods and the ideas driving the album, from the micro-precision of its textures to the larger forms they assemble, followed by a signing.
