Hello - I'm Max, I'm based in southern England, and occasionally make little innocent electronic tunes as a hobby: https://mirlo.space/m-corp On the whole, though, I've always preferred discussing music to making it ("those who can't, talk..."), so I do a radio show on electronic music every […]

This week on #SineWavesOnSunday, I chatted with Portsmouth-based experimental musician Michael Evill about his subversive 'warped pop' project, The Music Liberation Front Sweden. You can listen back to that exclusive interview, plus a great selection of […] [Original post on mastodon.sdf.org]

This week's 'Sine Waves On Sunday' features a small tribute to the sound engineer Mickey Mann, who worked with the likes of Orbital, Aphex Twin, System 7, Moby and many other electronic greats to make them sound awesome live. What I don't mention - because I wasn't aware when I recorded the […]

Found myself listening to David Bowie's 'Reality' for the first time in a while, one of those perfect 'driving on a hot day' albums. 'She'll Drive The Big Car' might be my favourite Bowie song. Apparently DB plays Stylophone, but I've never been able to hear it... Crossposted with @openvibe

For Vini: A Tribute to the Durutti Column, at London's very cosy Purcell Room. They didn't have Vini, but they did have Mr Manchester himself, Bruce Mitchell. 😀 Got to hear his distinctive performance over some of my faves. Now that's how you do a tribute act. Crossposted with @openvibe

A little peek behind the curtain of #SineWavesOnSunday . On the left you can see an interview I recorded the other week with the fantastic Elizabeth Parker. On the right is the edit in Logic, which is about 75% done. Bit more hacking needed to fit the slot […] [Original post on mastodon.sdf.org]

Was delighted to discover by chance that @johnhiggs.bsky.social recently wrote a book on Doctor Who, which I started reading just before the news re its future. I can only hope the ending isn't too awkward in retrospect, but it's already well-researched eloquence. Crossposted with @openvibe

Was great to meet one or two fediverse friends in the flesh for the first time last night at an excellent gig by Colleen and Kate NV. Both very different artists, but it all sounded wonderful through the ICA's sound system. #electronicmusic Crossposted with @openvibe

Anyone fancy setting up a production company to apply for the new #doctorwho tender? Asking for a friend. Bringing back the Quarks is an essential must.

When I go to see someone live I normally have a bit of a ritual of not listening to their stuff in advance. I'm making an exception this week with Colleen, who I'm seeing on Wednesday. First heard her last year & feel the need to brush up: https://youtu.be/RJBRlvvexIk?si=YPzDOd495rx5Pkci […]

Just recorded a very big interview for Sine Waves which should be going out end of June. If you have the newsletter from @thisoccasionalsociety you might be able to work out who it is. All I'm able to say at the moment is 'Whew'. #electronicmusic #sinewavesonsunday

I could have gone to see Kraftwerk at the Albert Hall tonight, but instead I'm seeing a comedy called 'Churchill's Urinal'. Priorities.

A bunch of fun updates you might've missed. 👀 https://robertafidora.com/campaigns/1137867 #news #updates #musicvideo #animationarray #mailinglist #music #tibtv #newrelease

Another silly idea for the next music video. Anyone else relate? Yes I know I should get on with shooting the video itself. #musicvideo #fedimusic #indiemusic

A few days ago I listened back to some tracks I recorded whilst I was finishing off the 'Garden Invicta' album earlier in the year, banning myself from using any MIDI for the first time. About to pick up the project again. Note the tidy workspace, and green sock. #music #electronicmusic

Just reading on my night shift break that Juno Download has abruptly shut down with little explanation, a few days after Nina Protocol announced it was packing up and going home due to a lack of revenue. The landscape of music marketplaces is becoming increasingly bloody. #music

Seeing some signs of a new #durutticolumn album called 'Renascent' on the way (song was just played on BBC Radio). Didn't have that on my 2026 bingo card... but then the same could be said of Boards of Canada.

Gromit sends his regards.

If Eurovision ain't your thing (which is understandable), then here's something a bit different: my attempt earlier to introduce the good people of Salisbury to both Penguin Cafe Orchestra and noise music. More footage to follow. #electronicmusic #livemusic #music #salisbury

An advertisement for an advertisement. It's like watching a kid at the disco waiting for someone, ANYONE, to come up and say hi. In other words, me at most gigs.

Live set starting to come together for Saturday. If you're near Queen Elizabeth Gardens in Salisbury this Saturday at 2.30pm, do come along - playing some new stuff for the first time and it will be great to say hi to you. Mean time, look at this old BBC1 globe 😀 #salisbury #electronicmusic
