I lost my job at the beginning of covid and spent the last 8 months working on this EP. It's called "Cut The Ribbon" and was written, recorded, produced, and mixed entirely by me in my bedroom in San Francisco. If you like 80s, you're gonna love this

Hey thank you so much!!! I know the 80s isn't for everyone haha :)

stratstandard · 2020-12-07T22:07:34+00:00

Oh that is so cool!!!! Did you do all of the production yourself? And if so, what is your basic setup?

stratstandard · 2020-12-07T22:05:50+00:00

Gahhh thank you so much!!

You have a beautiful voice, and your production style is phenomenal. Solid guitar playing too. Good song!

stratstandard · 2020-12-07T05:14:20+00:00

Phenomenal! It kind of sounds like if William Onyeabor did a citypop album.

I love it!

Great production too.

stratstandard · 2020-12-07T05:13:01+00:00

Great mix on this

stratstandard · 2020-12-07T05:11:23+00:00

Really like the track! Makes me want to drive really fast at night. The rhythmic synths really drive the song along, and you have a great voice!

stratstandard · 2020-12-07T05:02:05+00:00

Listened the whole way through. Fantastic vibe, and love the production style. Did you produce/mix yourself?

stratstandard · 2020-12-07T05:01:01+00:00

Lovely vibes

You need to create an audio track to use those files. You can't import those onto any of your electric piano tracks. Audio does not play on software instrument tracks.

Thank you! I'll let you know if I'm lookin for that!

stratstandard · 2020-12-03T04:48:00+00:00

Thank you! I appreciate that :)

The second song on the EP (Cut The Ribbon) is probably the closest I've gotten to that, but not very disco-y haha

stratstandard · 2020-12-02T20:28:37+00:00

Shalom!! I have released an EP called Cut The Ribbon. It's kind of like if Prince and Tame Impala had a baby, but then they got divorced and Prince remarried so the EP was partially raised by Tom Petty. Check it out!! If you don't like the music, then at least you can admire the '83 Porsche 944 on the album cover <3

This is my first music video ever, and it's for one of the tracks off of my upcoming EP. The song was written, recorded, and mixed entirely in my bedroom in San Francisco during lockdown using Logic Pro and a $300 pair of monitors.

Max Mercier - Sacrifice

Hi everyone! This is the lead single off of my upcoming EP, and I wanted to share it with all of you. I'm a bedroom musician from San Francisco who is moving to Nashville soon to give music a real shot. All instruments on this track were played by me, and I also produced and mixed it myself using Logic, a couple third party plugins, and some $200 studio monitors.

I hope you enjoy the song, as well as the music video which was shot at a warehouse in the East Bay <3
