I am the band, I am the guitar, keys and fender bass player, the drum programmer, the engineer and the producer. I do not play one style, though fusion, funk and blues are central. I also make computer dub, ambient, latin, various African styles, neo-soul, electronica, disco, some house, soundscapes. I have no hardware synths or samplers.

Band/artist history

Discovered DAW tech late 2004, bought Cubase and started building PCs same time. Played guitar and bass since 1979

Hi Max. Nice Sound Dude..Chi-Chi

Great skill, great tone! You are one guitar man! Yes you are. Great, love it! Cheers from Frankfurt Andreas

Max, I like the beginning of your song here, too bad it fades out THAT fast. But still: I can imagine how it´ll evolve! Great sound! Cheers from Frankfurt Andreas
