From the factory of their own means, music producer/audio arranger Jody Schaible and personal radio face Max Sympathy collapse distance ... An unthought experiment, sound affectation, lyrical without sing, dissonant without fission, melodic without monotony ... An uncompleting 21st century synthesizer plus skipread performance, the dialogic novelty of mutual distraction ... Loquacious music, suggesting abbreviation, remixed and remastered in contemplation ... Failures and successes ...

I have been in bands that span genres from DeathMetal to Funk. I primarily play bass in bands, yet am also a guitarist. This is my solo project. I am pretty new to the digital element of making music, and am just starting to perform publicly. I hope you enjoy these tracks!


Live performance electronic music means you have to write compose and mix everything...I prefer vintage hardware and I am building my personal sound system. My desire is to have an empathy with the droids that I program and to perform with a blend of intuition and intellect. And due to personality traits I have to compose everything...Sorry I am not into DJing I like live performance... I am going back to the world of playing an instruments...and instead of a piano or sax, I play drum-machines, rackmounts and grooveboxes. the smaller and more powerful the better.

Playing one is not enough. When I started collecting records, I had an early fascination with Dub.....Dub Reggae always sounded so rich....but the truth is that I like techno....not so much the beatport stuff...I just like making my own sounds and frequencies....anyhow....for the last four years I have had the opportunity to build and embellish my own sound system, based on hardware from yesteryear....I like using old school midi, and mixing different manufacturer's operating systems, synthesis engines and sequencers. I like to believe that this lends a distinct sound that has its own amalgamated persona.

I was born into this world a visual artist, so I have a lot of catching up to do in regards to internal technology in regards to music...but I enjoy it, I love studying and evolving as a time moves forward...and each month more patterns are recorded into my gear and they represent an accumulation of attention towards the effort.

So on this page you will find the latest culminations of my efforts. 

Peace and Blessings.
