Max Lord is a Boston-area percussionist who works with treated instruments and electronic sound. He is one of few musicians to adopt the Buchla Marimba Lumina, an expressive electronic mallet instrument. His drum set is often augmented by boxes of wires, large sheets of metal, and most recently amplified wire brushes. As an improviser, he is known for restless changes of mood and texture, a sense for the absurd and frequent high-volume excursions. A fraction of his many recorded electronic experiments are available on the CD Electronic Music 2000-2005, and he infrequently produces other limited edition recorded artifacts. He performs regularly in the northeast, both solo and in group improv situations. Much more info and music at www.wiresounds.com.
