Maxwell is a composer and sound designer currently living in Austin, Texas. Through his work with performance ensembles, independent film, live-theater, and other multimedia performance, Max blends instrument techniques with electronics that typically reference ideas from popular culture and human experience. His ensemble work explores narratives, everyday sounds as references and the blending of instruments and audio production techniques. Similarly, in his collaborative and multimedia work, he aims to find the line where the sounds surrounding a story can influence the music and vice versa. One recent project was Petrificationology, a site-specific theater and sound installation performance in the Texas Memorial Museum of Austin, Texas capturing themes of deep time and the complications of museums as institutions.
Originally from Youngstown, Ohio, Max works remotely with the Legacy Scoring Orchestra for all recording purposes.
Max has worked with performing ensembles like the Unheard-of Ensemble in New York, NY, Line Upon Line Percussion of Austin, TX, cellist Eduard Teregulov, and percussionist Sam Wheeler. He has also participated in events like the Atlantic Music Festival, the Collaborative Composition Initiative, New Music On The Bayou, NYU Summer Screen Scoring Workshop, and Electric LaTex, electronic music from Louisiana and Texas composers.
