Max Waves

Born in Treviso (Italy) on March '69. When he was six, he began piano studies attending private lessons and in 1980 entered into the conservatory “B. Marcello” of Venice.

His passion for computer science and technology in general very soon led to the study of the synthesiser and of the classics. He eventually abandoned the academic activity after a year in order to dedicate himself completely to electronic music production.

For many years he experimented with a diverse range of styles and produced "it had a electric plug" in 1985 with Joachim Thomas who also shares the same passions, they now collaborate and subsequently have plans to experiment further with pioneering enthusiasm.

In 1990, after many years using Commodore64 and Amiga in his professional work, he started to work with Apple Mac's and enjoyed the advanced stability and power it enabled. He then started using the Mac Computer platform for creating music as well.

In 1992 he produced his first work “Book of Saturn” and many other relatively unknown works have followed until “Airland - Studie I” gained the interest and support of the label RES.

He also founded the “Ars Electronica” group in 1996 and was a member until 1998 - a music project created to persue an inspiration to make electronic music similar to Tangerine Dream - the group have produced three CD's which have yet be released.
