What do you want to express that you feel you can\u2019t in everyday life? That\u2019s the question composer and producer Max Cooper<\/a> posed to his audience in hopes of unearthing some of the hidden parts of our shared emotional landscape. In return, he received more responses than expected, many of which tapped into passionate displays of pleasure and pain. \u201cIt was like finding a secret window into our collective psyches,\u201d he writes<\/a>. <\/p>\n These submissions spawned a tender project in collaboration with musician F\u00e9lix Gerbelot and animator Masanobu Hiraoka<\/a>. A multi-part endeavor spanning an album and digital installation, On Being<\/em><\/a> opens with a poignant music video<\/a>. \u201cIt started from the sound of Felix Gerbelot\u2019s viola and eventually became the title track of the album,\u201d Cooper shares.<\/p>\n \n
