Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
Hey O I'm Max from V4ncouver. I made some music in highschool with live instruments in a small basement room and spent way too much time on it. However, it was cool mic-ing a real drum set and using free software and virtually no MIDI to get the sounds that I heard in my head into your headphones. I really did care abouth this music at the time and only made what I thought was (as Frank Zappa would say…) "bitchen". The music was repetitive, dragged at parts and was a little (mhm..) narcissistic, but, again, everything I made and released (released as in… click upload) was from -well, I thought at least- the heart.
Anyways, I played a few instruments (ish) and made two lofi DIY albums which I believe to be unique and proggy. Thanks for reading this and double thanks if you take a listen now and again. :-)))
