Apple Artist Request -  Tom Connell - 28th December 2025
Claude Debussy (1862–1918)
Claude Debussy was a French composer and one of the most influential figures in classical music, widely regarded as the father of Impressionism in music. Born on August 22, 1862, in Saint-Germain-en-Laye, France, Debussy’s innovative use of harmony, texture, and tone revolutionized the landscape of classical music, pushing the boundaries of traditional forms and paving the way for modernism.

Debussy’s compositions are renowned for their rich, evocative textures and lyrical expressiveness, often inspired by nature, art, and literature. His most famous works, such as Clair de Lune, Prélude à l’après-midi d’un faune, La Mer, and Arabesque No. 1, showcase his mastery of orchestration and his ability to evoke mood and atmosphere through sound. With a preference for ambiguity and fluidity, Debussy often broke conventional structures, opting for unusual scales such as the whole tone scale, and creating music that defies simple categorization.

A key figure in the late Romantic and early Modern periods, Debussy’s music bridged the gap between the lush emotionalism of the 19th century and the more dissonant, experimental styles of the 20th century. His approach to rhythm, harmony, and tonality has had a lasting influence on generations of composers, including Maurice Ravel, Igor Stravinsky, and contemporary film score composers.

Debussy’s health was often fragile, and he faced personal and financial struggles throughout his life. Despite these challenges, his music continued to gain recognition, and he achieved a prominent position in the French music scene. He passed away on March 25, 1918, but his legacy endures as one of the most innovative and beloved composers in the classical canon.

Adventures in machine music built to make subs rattle and feet wiggle; a convoluted mess of elektrology and teknology, 3-step, bass-core, post windmill, proto-minimal wankstep, gondola, shithouse, acid wonk, ambient gabber, no more, no less.

Max Richter trained in composition and piano at Edinburgh University, at the Royal Academy of Music, and with Luciano Berio in Florence.

On completing his studies, Max co-founded the iconoclastic classical ensemble Piano Circus, where he stayed for ten years, commissioning and performing works by Arvo Pärt, Brian Eno, Philip Glass, Julia Wolfe and Steve Reich.

In the late 90s he worked with a number of electronic artists, notably Future Sound of London on their album 'Dead Cities". He subsequently collaborated with FSOL over a period of two years, also contributing to the albums "The Isness" and "The Peppermint Tree and Seeds of Superconsciousness". Max also collaborated with Mercury Prize winner Roni Size, on "In the Mode".

In June 2002, Max released his debut solo album, "memoryhouse", recorded with The BBC Philharmonic Orchestra. This was followed in March 2004 by FatCat's release of "The Blue Notebooks", with featured readings by Tilda Swinton.

In 2005 Max produced Vashti Bunyan's outstanding comeback album "Lookaftering".

2006 saw the release of "Songs From Before" based on Haruki Murakami texts read by Robert Wyatt. That same year, Max began performing "from The Art of Mirrors", an evolving score to previously unseen Super 8mm films of Derek Jarman.

Max's more recent work continues to stretch the notions of what Classical music is.  ‘24 Postcards In Full Colour’, released in August 2008, is an experimental work made up of 24 composed ringtones.

Max works widely in film music, installation and the theatre, most recently on INFRA, made with Wayne MacGregor and Julian Opie for The Royal Ballet, London. The Ballet was the subject of a BBC 'making of' documentary.

Max was named 2008 European Composer Of The Year for his score to Ari Folman's Waltz With Bashir, for which he was also nominated for the Prix France Musique.

Raised backstage on a balanced European diet of techno, punk and world music, Yunset has been known to be the last one standing on dance floors around the globe. She finally took the step to switch sides and get behind the decks, to share music that makes her want to dance ♥️

Drawing from many influences, her sets weave deep underground grooves with playful twists, carrying dancers from laid-back flow to full-throttle energy before they know it.
Adaptable by nature, she shapes her sound to the time, place and crowd — moving with ease between bouncey downtempo, bass-driven mid-tempo, and grittier, harder beats. The outcome is her signature: a dancefloor alive with smiles, shapes and contagious self-expression

Her summer 2024 performances at Ignition and opening for the Communicate stage takeover at Earth Beat grabbed the attention of an ever growing loyal dancefloor, who continue to ask for "more please!" despite her best attempts to remain elusive. Highlights of her NZ 2025 summer were Dimension, Newtown and Earth Beat festivals amongst many others.
