Rebuke creates a masterful club-ready rendition of Max Cooper’s – ‘Ascent’.

The next instalment from Max Cooper’s audio-visual project ‘Unspoken Words’ on Mesh. The ‘Ascent’ single package features the original, an experimental drum and bass rework by Max himself, and a searing techno cut from Rebuke.

Max Cooper said about the piece:
“‘Ascent’ was one of the most important tracks from the album for me, because I was able to capture some really raw feeling relating to some intense physical spaces – specifically St Michielskerk in Leuven, and Herodes Atticus Theatre at the Acropolis in Athens. The music was my attempt to create a transcendental experience fitting these spaces, and the visual followed the same theme via mathematics, using simulations of ever increasing spatial dimensions, with the digits of a transcendental number mapped to the surfaces in these ‘ascending’ spaces.”

Rebuke delivers an abrasive rendering of ‘Ascent’, reworking the heavy transcendental layers into a dance-floor ready interpretation of the original. Cooper says of the remix by fellow Irishman / Rebuke, “The original was created with this raw feeling unimpeded so the synths could scream to full extent, but the rising chord structure was also screaming out for a percussive club treatment. Rebuke went full scale with a huge rounded kick filling the waveform and filling the room with the chord sequence intensity growing throughout amongst the techno structures. It’s a huge track for the clubs.”

The montage of genres enveloped within the title of Max Cooper’s “Elysian Field mix” has created a collection that is rewardingly different yet automatically recognisable though the original signature sound and motifs. “I worked on the mix solidly for weeks to get the balance the best I could, and allow the warm harmonies to come through as well as enough snap in the drums. I also jammed over the chord sequence with some high frequency melodic elements and manipulations of the percussion to make it as rich with structure as I could.”//
