Artiphon Artist Sessions - Max D Drummer - Musician and Producer with Nonverbal Autism Plays Orba

“I really think Orba has the potential not only to help Max but kids like him.”
We invited Max and his father, Larry Baumeister, to tell their inspiring story of Max’s journey through early childhood, where they discovered Max had nonverbal autism. Despite Max being nonverbal, Larry quickly learned that Max had an aptitude for rhythm.
When we saw what Max and his father were doing with Ableton, pad controllers, and other traditional instruments, we were curious to learn what this duo would do with our handheld instrument, Orba. After just a couple of weeks with the device, it’s incredible to see how Max has taken to the eight-pad playing surface and how quickly he can switch between modes and discover new sounds on the device.
