check_circleVerifiedIt was a pleasure to work with Max. He's very easy to work with, professional and communicative, laid-back and has a positive personality. He was also committed to the project. Max played written parts perfectly. He also delivered interesting and useful improv parts that I could play with. I will definitely work with Max again. Thanks Max!
Siyavash and I found Max great to work with - we had a Zoom chat to discuss the unusual 10/8 and 6/16 beats that we wanted and he combined a bunch of interesting timbres both traditional and contemporary. He was responsive to our requests for changes and a great communicator.
