The solo projects of bumble and ..::[A'kin]::..are nodes of audio vibrations set into the air by an infactuation of audio play and music composition. They are the reflection of nature that constantly surrounds me and the soundtracks to my often hermitudinal life. People know me as max.
I am a lover, a musician, community festival promoter, record label owner and human animal - still connected to the rest of nature even though i am currently based in Sydney.
I have been constructing music since the mid 90's in a diverse array of formats including ska, punk, metal/hardcore, followed by these current incarnations of electronic/organic fusion including - Bumble, Akin, and another project called ONDA (with my brother from another mother - Cameron Thermohaline - who is responsible for bringing me to the psychedelic fray in 1999).
Since 2003 the driving power of stomach rumbling bass wobbling- heavy psychedelic music has captured my creative attention.
Creating sonically diverse music within software platforms, the unifying theme of my music reflects nature, experience, perception and hopefully sparks connection.
I have been playing bass-heavy, up-beat and down-beat creations in NSW, Victoria and Queensland (and recently in BA, Argentina) since the begining of 2006. I find pleasure in honestly recreating my music in a live context through playing in live synth and guitar and continually adding and filtering elements on the fly.
Onda is a duo creation founded in the latin climes of Argentina in 2008. Two friends whose ideas mesh to create deep and twisting full-on psychedelic morning sounds.
The Bumble/A’kin/Onda/ and Thermohaline live sets can be booked by contacting us here.
