About Maxx McGathey Orchestra:
Composer & pianist Maxx McGatheyโs immersive sound-world is dark, energetic, epic and adventurous. Mixing elements of cinematic jazz, modern classical, and his love for heavy groove-based music, McGathey crafts instrumental stories that pull you in to their vast worlds using a large ensemble of strings, winds and rhythm section to give the music grand scope. His most recent album โImaginary Eyesโ released in 2024 on Nudie Records, is a deep dive into this cavernous twilight zone, which uses the sounds of mid-20th century suspense cinema as a jumping off point for more modern experimentation. Many of McGatheyโs previous composing projects have also had a cinematic element, whether the 12+ year running b-horror-funk band Gramps The Vamp or the spaghetti western themed album Dark Canyon (for which McGathey was a co-writer). McGathey has also written and performed 9 feature-length live film scores for clients like WBEZ, The Music Box Theater and the Chicago Park Districtโs โMovies in the Parksโ, as well as various independent theaters around the midwest. These past experiences give all of McGatheyโs music a strong sense of story and setting that adds to their immersive feel. ...
