So the story goes that when I was born my parents just couldnāt decide what to call me - (I was almost āBoyā DeVincenzo)
Luckily someone was prepared and the nurse on site suggested āIan-Maxwellā as my name.
My dad said no - theyāll make fun of him.... theyāll call him IMAX.
Well, now a film I worked on, as Music Editor and Additional Music Composer (āHigh Gravityā - Max DeVincenzo), is being shown in IMAX theaters only this month.
It will be the first time I see my name on an IMAX screen...
So maybe the nickname would have been okay after all.
Girl Climber is showing nationwide (including Nashville and Denver) with additional music written by Boy DeVincenzo, in IMAX, on August 24th.
Iām so grateful to the team involved, especially Mark Crawford, the composer for the film, who brought me on board.
And Iām honored to be a part of sharing this incredible story about rock climber Emily Harrington and her perseverance against gravitational and societal forces as the first female climber to free-climb the Golden Gate route on El Capitan in under 24 hours.
Climbers, outdoor enthusiasts, humans with a strong spirit, You will love this movie. I hope you can make it.
DM me for links to tickets for Nashville & Denver
Super stoked that my drumming can be heard on the new season of Shiny Happy People on Amazon Prime!! š„ (Listen for a preview š§)
Played and recorded this cue a few years back for a piece by Mark Crawford - who scored the new season. Heās a genius composer and Iām so grateful for the opportunities through collaboration with him.

The coolest part is this was recorded in a home studio! Itās exciting to know that there are opportunities like this out there with a great studio sound at home. Something Iāve always believed in with Fox Tracks Music and The Indie Recording Academy. š¦

Full Circle is now Emmy-nominated for outstanding long documentary in The 45th Sports Emmy Awards. (Music Editor - Max DeVincenzo, Fox Tracks Music)
Weāre honored to be involved in this deserving documentary about adaptive sports athletes and the path of growth after trauma. Itās a truly beautiful film. (Streaming on @netflix )
Mark Crawford composed an incredible score (which is also up for consideration for an SCL Award! @_the_scl ) through collaborations with musicians with disabilities around the country. Fox Tracksā involvement was Music Editor - compiling the recordings from the different sessions, editing, and pre-mixing, along with recording additional drum tracks for the film.
Thank you @markcrawfordmusic and everyone on the team. So glad to be a part of this.

Tate McRae - 2 Hands (MDVMX Remix)
Thereās just something so satisfying about genre-flipping a song. This song (and album) is well produced but the writing is what allows it to be modified and manipulated into different musical contexts.
Definitely looking forward to doing more remixes. Any suggestions for the next song are more than welcome.

I recorded John Hollier (@johnholliermusic ) during my road-trip through music cities in the US before I moved to Nashville. I remember setting up the mics for the recording and after hearing how much force he had in his voice moving the vocal mic back farther.. and a little farther.
Needless to say he blew me away with this song, his voice, and his professional musicality. I learned a lot about Nashville during our interview together and it became one of the reasons I moved to this bountiful city. Thank you John.

Recorded live by Max DeVincenzo (@max.devincenzo )
Still one of my favorite videos from last year at @evacasselmusic ās house show. Thereās something so special about recording⦠especially at a live show with an audience. It reminds me that the energy of the moment is the most important thing in music - you either capture it or you donāt⦠and it will only happen once. š¦

Musicians are some of the wisest, most intuitive people on the planet. Maybe itās the years of self reflection or the constant practice of a direct connection to creativity⦠whatever it may be, I feel lucky to have had the opportunity to record and interview such inspiring artists.
