Max said that given a chance he would like to check out Laguna, saying that he heard that many great ice sculptors are from there. 

“I don’t know any mediocre Filipino sculptors. There is this one gentleman, who placed at the Global Championships and he is Filipino. I know some chefs who are spectacular sculptures with butter sculptures and wood sculptures and they are really extremely talented,” he said.

When asked how he does his work with the music, Max said that it is all about timing. Max also added that they will also showcase other Filipino-themed ice sculptures in their upcoming shows.

The group was founded by Max and Nima Rezai. Using chainsaws and various tools, Ice Beat Factory turns blocks of ice into art accompanied by powerful music and light spectacles.
