Max Cooper — 3D/AV Live [UK]

Max Cooper, one of the UK’s leading electronic musicians, opens MUTEK.JP 2026 with A/Visions 1. Holding a PhD in computational biology, Cooper has earned international acclaim for his distinctive practice spanning music, science, and art.

For this performance, Cooper will present an immersive audiovisual live show combining cutting-edge 3D visuals with spatial audio.

At the heart of the performance is his latest album, Feeling Is Structure, created with the live experience in mind. Exploring the relationship between physical structure and emotion, Cooper builds an ever-evolving architecture of sound—intricate at a microscopic level yet deeply emotionally resonant—paired with spectacular visuals.

MUTEK.JP 2026 | Play 1

Date: Friday, November 20
Doors: 18:00 / Start: 19:00 / End: 22:30

Venue: MoN Takanawa Box300
Format: Standing

Artists:
Robert Lippok & Lucas Gutierrez — AVB2BVA [DE+AR]
Grand River — Temporary [IT]
Seulement — Bricolage Architecture [CA/QC]
Masayuki Azegami & Seiichi Sega — K/Hi 3D/AV Live [JP]

Play is a program dedicated to experimental audiovisual live performances that explore new relationships between sound, image, and technology. The opening night brings together four acts from Japan and around the world.

Musician Robert Lippok, known as a former member of To Rococo Rot, and visual artist Lucas Gutierrez present AVB2BVA, a back-to-back (B2B) performance combining music and real-time visuals. Intersecting and responding to each other’s sound and imagery as it happens, they explore the fluidity of time through an improvised process of unpredictable transformation.

Grand River, the solo project of Berlin-based Dutch-Italian composer Aimée Portioli, presents a performance centered on her forthcoming album Temporary, scheduled for release in autumn 2026. Electro-acoustic sounds created with guitar and synthesizers are combined with lighting design by Andrea Familari, creating an environment where sound and light intersect.

Montreal-based electronic musician and audiovisual artist Mathieu Arsenault presents Bricolage Architecture under his solo project Seulement. Combining stop-motion animation with live modular synthesis, the performance focuses on the imperfections and physical presence of the human body that digital technology cannot fully capture.

Representing Japan, Masayuki Azegami & Seiichi Sega present a 3D/AV live performance for which every audience member is provided with 3D glasses. Stereoscopic imagery is combined with sound synchronized in real time, creating moments of ma—intervals and open spaces within meticulously constructed sound and visuals—and offering an experience akin to witnessing phenomena as they unfold.
