French composer and producer Maxime Denuc takes an unorthodox approach to electronic music, drawing from influences in classical, baroque, noise, contemporary and rave. Formerly as part of Plapla Pinky, the duo he co-founded with Raphaël Hénard, he made homes on the likes of Sonore, Kuntur Records and Choral Records, the label the pair launched in 2015. 

In addition to his work as a composer, Maxime has a strong interest in research, previously exploring musicology and the theories and practices of language and arts through his further education, while now he's focusing on his output as a solo artist with the release of Solarium, an hour and a half organ piece intended for the "afters" on Belgian label Vlek.

Following Solarium's release, we invited Maxime to help us blow away the cobwebs, and he succeeds emphatically by blessing us with a mix of choral pieces and compositions from the XIIth to the XVIIth century, moving chronologically from occidental music, through to the middle ages and the baroque era.
