Developed from a commission to create a live show for London’s Royal Albert Hall, Feeling Is Structure explores the relationship between physical form and human emotion. Across 10 spatial audio-visual works, Cooper examines how structure in sound, architecture, biology and art, shapes the way we feel.

The album is built on the idea that our inner emotional lives are profoundly connected to our lived environment. Developed from a commission to create a live show for London’s Royal Albert Hall, expanding on this idea, Max explains:

“I’m fascinated by architects who can imbue brutalist buildings with humanity, or artists who can paint a block of colour representing their soul.” says Cooper. “We have this remarkable capacity to spill ourselves into the world through form. When I began working on a show for the Royal Albert Hall, that connection between large-scale physical structures and feeling took over — and this album emerged from that process.”

Musically, Feeling Is Structure leans into Cooper’s more intricate and deliberate compositional side. Rather than improvisation, the record focuses on carefully designed systems and processes that build evolving sonic architectures. Precise at the micro level, but deeply emotive in impact.

“Mappings between structures and feelings are important,” Cooper adds. “They connect art and science, and they enrich how we experience the world. Imagine life without music — that’s just one abstract structure we all connect with. There are many more.”

Feeling Is Structure is released Friday 8 May on digital platforms in Stereo and Dolby Atmos, and as a limited triple-vinyl edition via Mesh.
