DJING WITH THE POSING AS PEOPLE CREW; WE'RE OPENING FOR LYRICS BORN!!
Max Wallace lives in Seattle, WA. and makes music under the name "Mad Max". He was
born the same day as Shamu The Killer Whale, who is known well for jumping through
hoops and eating fish at Sea World. Mad Max has opened for dj Q-bert, Grand mixer DXT, Grand Wizard Theodore, DJ Jazzy Jeff.
Mad Max takes sampling thrift-store
records to yet another rung. Each song stands as a piece and testament to
record-crate gem sifting; rebuilding dream pieces into Lego castles that could
inhabit monkeys wearing pirate eye-patches and, perhaps, some robots. Truly, the
separate golden entities of record embers form together like Voltron. This
synergistic effect produces rare material that otherwise would never be birthed
forth unto the world with conventional styles of music making.
At the same time, Instant Ventriloquism retains the value of Hip-Hop
standards, still celebrating the drum-break as a necessary building
block. Each song is like a fortune cookie, rife with riddle. Or, perhaps, a
comic strip, with punch lines, yet with a story line that leaves it up to
the listener for interpretation. This off-the-wall format of hip-hop
incorporates humor along with serious undertones that do not simply
tickle the listener's fancy, but adds another missing piece to the
musical fabric of Hip-Hop.
Mad Max has no formal music training, except for 5th grade trombone. While working
for Sub Pop Records he was able to spend time working under the wings of Design
Juggernaut Jeff Kleinsmith, where his pastiche approach to musical assemblage was
first acquired as a Graphic Designer. In his free time, Mad Max collages from found
2 dimensional visual objects.
All and all, Mad Max has crafted a strong listening piece that is a
perfect soundtrack for star-gazing on davenports, sipping inexpensive
american lager and mingling with your friends.
