About Me

maxplanck are named after German physicist Max Planck for two reasons. Primarily because the ‘father of quantum physics’ had a cool name, but the name also suits the scientific method maxplanck bring to their music. Al’s experience in electronica and sound and Mark’s talent for melody and movement combine to produce electronic music which is quirky, rhythmic, melodic and emotive. James’ vocals, guitar, professionalism and enthusiasm stir a potent force into the mix....sheeesh, it's only music right? you decide..

Band Members: Name: James Johnston Lwanda. Alias: "you know....the black guy" Base of operations: Earth. Powers: guitar, vocals. Finishing moves: The Big Lick, The Scream Dream.JJ Lwanda is neither metahuman nor mutant, but possesses traits common to both. He is a front man; even on stage. The only way to stop him is by surreptitiously slipping a sedative into his drink. NOTE: make sure it's actually a sedative and not a hallucinogen; this led to problems last time we tried.Name: Alasdair King (after Elvis) Watt. AKA: Al Resides: Glasgow. Role: keyboards, sounds, noises, beats, programming. Special move: finishing all the vodka.Al is seduced by keyboards, bleeps, lights and made-up noises. It’s a fulfilling relationship that has outlived all others. Happy in the company of dead Russian authors and modern electronic souls, Al strives for a modern, meaningful, existential life, free from the complications of banality, community and sobriety.Name: Mark Renman. AKA: Mark Renman. Lives: in a very small house in the country. Musicality: Bass, beats, programming, unusual things with real sounds, melody. Power move: telling it like it is.Mark is a scientist. A life-long musician too, he has an artistic approach to science and a scientific approach to music. It’s a left-right brain thing. He self-medicates. He’s been playing bass as long as he can remember but details are sketchy. There were tours, there was a record, there were musical differences.
