Mesmerising giant images become one with the music.
Drawing on a rich back catalogue of musical and visual content, this show tells the story of the foundations of our world, and our place in it.
He said: “I spend most of my time thinking and reading about ideas, and adding the visual component has allowed me to integrate ideas much more fully into my work.
“The visual medium can convey much richer literal information than music can, while the music is great at conveying the associated feelings.
“Together they make a great tool for communicating things which are hard to put into words.”
Pivoting from computational biology to electronic music might not seem like the most natural career transition, but for Cooper the commonalities are obvious.
Cooper continued: “In both fields, you’re in a sense, free.
“Free from the limits of living systems, free from the limits of corporeal sound. The only constraints are in your mind.”
The Anvil is one of just eight venues on the UK tour.
Tickets are available at three price points: £35, £30 and £25.
