Max Cooper - Gated Thoughts (Official video by Jazer Giles)

[@semaj262]

One musician's quest to destroy KZbin's video compression algorithm

[@nerfarian]

Just give up and send it in RAW format

[@JCplusplus]

Got to the end, just started at the beginning again...

[@360.Tapestry]

max cooper consistently collaborates some of the most interesting visual/digital artists

[@Destoroyah-u3u]

That are absolutely on the same wave length as him. Its amazing.

[@etienneperreaultmandeville7246]

Exactly what I thought! And his music fit so perfect!

[@samtric2504]

y descuida la armonía.. comprendemos que es muy experimental pero a veces descuida las frecuencias que molestan, pero apreciamos el arte visual :s

[@Adrischa]

amazing. Would love to see that alogrithm in more detail. Amazing results

[@sleslie23]

Same!

[@Weromano]

Yes it would be amazing to see the creators explain it!

[@jazergiles]

Thank you! This is a glsl pixel shader doing what amounts to elaborate cellular automata. The main algo at each pixel takes the gradient, as well as the gradient of the neighboring pixels. If the gradient of the neighboring pixels is in the direction of the center pixel, they blend (non-linearly). I incorporated a few other algos such as coupled oscillation and neural cellular automata into the code as well to vary things up, and lots of post-processing of course. And probably the most important part is seeding the algo to get interesting results, which just takes lots of trial and error. Glad you enjoy!

[@Weromano]

@@jazergiles As i can see from the videos on your channel, you have been at this kind of visual art for years now. Its great to see, good work!

[@Deezenuts19990]

@@jazergiles i did the same kind of thing, except i used massive amounts of ketamine and a single dose of DMT and put the hdmi up myself

[@Blergoz]

Mesmerizing piece of music, yet again! How can one fit so much into one track? Truly masterful stuff.

When I see the number of subscribers he has, and the importance of the messages he delivers, I feel we are privileged to be here, my friends. You're a true alchemist of sound max, it's much more than music, it's the path to spiritual ascension. That's how I feel, so thank you for everything.

[@Slowhil]

This is the most hippie shit I've ever said, but I feel God when I experience your art. Both in the music and visuals. They seem to imitate creation in such a close and intimate way.

[@GEMSofGOD_com]

As jontology put it, there's either nothing or math exists.

[@umamifan]

I felt it very strongly in one of his older videos, Order from Chaos. He even said it himself IIRC, that it's just supposed to be a (beautiful, might I add) interpretation of the emergence of life, and it showed how it can take different forms. I watched once while on a trip... It's like... I wouldn't call it hidden knowledge, but you ever walked into a situation that is just an instant shock to your system? That instant realization before you can even process it. It's like viewing behind the curtain, seeing what's going on in the background, observing a very simple form of what life is. It's like a simulation of the fundamentals. That's probably why it feels so... "divine". Your mind is now working to understand what it means, a meaning that can transcend human perspectives.

Diamonds are precious because someone touched the veil beyond.

[@RegahP]

the megamind programmers behind the algorithms for these videos man, i swear...

[@gondoma]

This song is like walking through a black hole, on the other side there is a completely different world

[@Vicious-Spiral]

Amazing tune, amazing video... as usual!!! ❤❤❤❤

[@martinnonstatic7435]

fantastic !!!!

[@juStb4u]

Gorgeous tune and visuals equally so ❤

[@adriannelsen1253]

Strangely feels like a representation of disassociation and the turmoil, confusion and panic caused by traumatizing intrusive thoughts.

[@JohnHarmer]

The video seems to share the computational irreducebility of Wolfram's rule 30.

[@vicentejouclas2518]

I m going to dance that music!

[@JohnVance]

Guys I'm worried a computer might have been involved in the creation of this

[@catsgonom]

🙀

[@andrewhooper7603]

Used to take an entire army of disney animators years to do something like this.

[@ArtemisAndromeda]

Even the music was made using computers. Now all the acoustic synthesizers are going to lose their jobs

[@hsigma]

It's definitely another indication that AI is eating the world

[@stevenmayers082]

its hard to tell nowadays

[@raffaellaoss595]

wonderful experience, fantastic adventure 🧞‍♂🧞‍♂🧞‍♂

Yo, I wish your videos were in 4K, man. Your art is sick!

[@nestigios]

Beautiful

[@brandschatzen2241]

great suff, mate!

[@MandrakeGuy]

i love the visuals so much- cool thing!!!!! now do it in an odd time si-

This is not what an AI looks like on the inside, but it is how I imagine it does

[@teugene5850]

Has Max achieved GOAT status yet?

[@daddycooloo]

i wish , i could meet u, just once in ur studio. love it

[@Seitanabolic]

wow, sick

[@heleneramos889]

My brain when I'm into Max Cooper's orbited universe! Literally!

[@Adjagi_SfMfBay_Co3]

I found myself ruminating on a synth’s gated rhythm just yesterday! This dost slap vastly harder tho. Yuge ups. Shit was bumpin’. I nearly broke out in freestyle exercise dance. Could not look away from those visuals tho fr. Off every conceivable chain. Those rippling foils went tf off my gawd! The architecture of motha naycha’s boundless geometry brought to you by tiny squares of color swimming in sync. My bouquet is on the ice and my hat tossed and lost and I care not- I invoke a lone, tuxedo’ed Shia LaBeouf offering a slow-clap to standing ovation to the both of you! Bravo! Huzzah! Or as my aunt Margot, in a Kiwi accent, once said, “Good job, you lot!” okthxbye Exeunt

[@funkymunky]

Geez. Stop talking.

[@bysharcc]

what language/program is used to code this?

[@jazergiles]

This is a GLSL pixel shader implemented in Max 8

[@patchesdog4330]

You should totally sell prints of this

[@itsmaxmint]

Очередной психоделический шедевр!

It must be ai's favorite song)

[@KrisCadwell]

This is your brain on math. Any questions?

Is it odd that I think the visuals much more... busy? Than the music. It doesn't match up as well as bzrtpth
