At the time, Max observed carefully the work of Alan Silvestri and Mike Post among many others. He has also performed with Oingo Boingo members John Avila and Johnny Vatos, Mel E Mel&Whipple Whip(Grand Master Flash), The Jazz Crusaders' Stix Hooper and Joe Sample, War and Tower of Power side-men, etc. The list of luminaries Max has worked with is long and accomplished. Manhattan Transfer comissioned one of his pieces.

In the 1990s, Max partnered with Treavor Walton, and formed Euterpe, which had their first release on Priority Records’, and performed at the big Raves of that time. Shortly after, he joined Bassland and formed lasting relationships with Q (Uberzone) and many other Electronica artists and DJs. Among them, Tim White became his protégé and in 2005 formed The Magnus Project together. Their first CD "Vintage Vibrations" is out on iTunes, Napster, beatport and other download distribution sites.

Max officially registered Maxx Vaxx Music Publishing with BMI in ’96. Max says, "Although performing has always been fun and a great way to connect with my fans and new listeners, composing will always be my first love". The last few years find Max in the studio producing new projects for Jimmy Street and Jeff Stetson and new solo ventures. In 2006, Max has begun to resurface as a live player, first in South East Asia, then the U.S.
