monolithicfungus If you know the funk that comes from turtles, then you know what this track is all about: bacteria and e.coli. This whole album rules, though seriously Favorite track: Turtle Funk.

Djtyme I can't wait to hear the full album on vinyl. I have a feeling it's gonna be a Sonic Paradise. The track Downlink sounds to me if Apex Twin, Flying Lotus and Kraftwerk had conceived a baby Favorite track: Downlink.

lcporschen Nice album!! Good variety, like the sounds, seems to be lot of attention to detail...good stuff! Favorite track: Dripping.

about

For over a decade, Max Ravitz has been obsessively working in his home studio, crafting electronic music under various guises. His primary solo project, Patricia, has been a mainstay in New York's DIY electronic music scene, with releases on labels such as Opal Tapes, Nona, and Ghostly's Spectral Sound imprint.

Ravitz is a life-long musician with a passion for collecting, studying, and using all types of electronic music equipment. This focus on hardware lays the foundation for both his recorded music and live sets — two distinct entities with a similar flavor. He is a process-driven artist who values creative constraint, improvisation and collaboration with others. Over the years, his numerous collaborative projects include Inhalants (with Jahiliyya Fields), Masks (with Arp), DSR.MR (with Cloudface), and Ociya (with Tin Man). Ravitz's love of synthesizers has recently led him from Brooklyn to Asheville, North Carolina, where he has taken on the role of Product Specialist at Moog Music.

Over the course of 10 songs, Maxyboy presents a more varied stylistic approach than past Patricia releases, shifting away from some of the 'lo-fi' sounds he's known for. With clear nods to electro, acid, IDM, and techno, Maxyboy puts on display Ravitz's eclectic range of influence — from collaborators and contemporaries, to classic innovators alike.

Titled after his family’s childhood nickname for him, Maxyboy serves as a window to Ravitz’ range of musical interests. “Myokymia,” “Downlink” and “Crushed Velvet” highlight Ravitz's penchant for intricate drum programming; while album closer Ctenophora hints towards his drumless sensibilities. Ranging from driving and somatic (“Dripping,” “Turtle Funk”), to ambient (“Julia Set”) to acid (“Dew Point,” “Dr. Oetker's Ristorante”), each song carries an evocative, questioning quality — something any listener can enhance for themselves by closing the eyes and letting the sounds course through.

about

Patricia Asheville, North Carolina

Max Ravitz is an accomplished designer of sounds and a composer of murky, melodic music designed to elicit movement in the body. Ravitz has been a fixture in New York's punk-ish world of do-it-yourself house and techno, releasing a steady stream of records (under his own name or in duos Inhalants, Masks, or Pulpo, but most frequently under his own legerdemain-styled solo moniker, Patricia). ... more

Finds You Well
by Khotin

supported by 42 fans who also own “Maxyboy”

Finds You Well portrays a certain longing for things past. Tape hiss, old samples from people talking and living their lives. I'm pulled 15 years backward in time, I hear Tycho, Boards of Canada, Legowelt and Body-San. This is a playful, yet elegant set of tunes that really makes me want to call my friends and spend the night drinking beers in a field, looking up at the stars. To really enjoy such moments.
