MAX
Happy to Help!
WELCOME AND MAKE YOURSELF COMFORTABLE!
My name is Maxwell Feinstein. I live in New Jersey, I like to do a lot of things, and I am passionate about what I do. I’m a bit of an aggressive thinker, so I aspire to be an aggressive doer because I’m pretty sure my life depends on it! I have been described in the newspaper as an "all-purpose enthusiast,” and I truly do enjoy having the opportunity to engage with the world through a variety of professional outlets.
Musician
Music is the BEST - Frank Zappa
I play Guitar, Bass, and Percussion in addition to singing.
My background is deeply rooted in ear training and improvisation, allowing me to internalize and adapt to new concepts quickly and to compose spontaneously.
I have been performing on stage in one form or another for nearly three decades and have been lucky to do so internationally. I perform solo or accompanied, and I regularly serve as an accompanist for other musicians.
I am equally comfortable and take equal joy in participating in recording sessions.

Recording
Recording studios are such a love affair for me. As a kid I used to capture ideas on micro cassettes and attempt to overdub by plugging my guitar into a karaoke machine, but I stepped into my first real recording studio on January 1st, 2004 and immediately I was set on finding a way to have one of my own.
I have operated Silver Horse Sound in one form or another over the past decade plus with my best friend and frequent collaborator, John Roccesano. We are currently located in Union City, NJ.
I deeply enjoy the recording process and treat editing with nuance, and I also have the benefit of being able to take on remote projects.
I am also available to record on location!
Live Audio (music/theater/corporate)
I have a diverse background as an engineer and technician, including working on events and productions in a variety of roles across different venues, and I have also participated in some commercial audio installations.
I am well-versed in mixing live music and am especially attuned to the nuances of mixing in corporate and conference settings. I am enthusiastic about both and find thrill in every successful event.
Creative
Artist
I am a relentless musical creative capable of everything from writing concise, catchy songs to improvising solo guitar compositions over 20 minutes long. My personal publications are something I curate similarly to one would have collections at an art gallery and my primary muse is the notion of “Man vs. Self”. It is safe to say this feeds into all of my skillsets and all of my skillsets feed back right into this.
Inventor
I have an extensive background in product development including stress testing medical hardware relevant to the bleeding disorders community.
I am also passionate about music equipment, holding patent US11240580B2 and developing the Tape-o-Neg with Poison Noises.
I am always happy to discuss music equipment
Productions/Projects/Consultations
My background in events and productions has shown me to be a skilled communicator between and within organizations as well as someone with a keen eye for delegation and coordinating personnel. I have worked everything from corporate conventions to theater works to regional tours.
I also have an extensive background consulting with national and local nonprofits on programming and presentations, as well as copious experience advising pharma on the messaging for several product rollouts. My extensive background in product development feeds heavily into this.
Advocate
Bleeding Disorder advocacy is instilled in patients with Hemophilia at an early age and our history shows our community to be very potent advocates. I have had the opportunity to educate doctors, politicians, and perfect strangers on bleeding disorders and I am especially dedicated to education and awareness in the general public.
To that effect, I have advocated for bleeding disorders through my music and performed as far as Budapest for the sake of Hemophilia on its merits.
Educator and Speaker
I am available both locally and virtually for guitar lessons. My style favors those who are already attempting to do things and helping those individuals refine their decisions or overcome obstacles.
I have been on stages addressing crowds my entire life and over the 2020s have had the opportunity to collaborate with pharmaceutical manufacturers and both national and local nonprofits on programming and presentations related to music, creativity and self expression.
I am also an experienced emcee and motivational speaker with material relevant to any convention or occasion.
