Today we’re listening to Maxime Denuc, a French electronic musician based in Brussels. He grew up in the French countryside playing piano, and got into composition as a teenager.1 He studied theory of art and language at EHESS Paris and pursued a PhD in musicology. His latest record, Club Imperiale, is made up of compositions for a MIDI-controlled pipe organ at St. Antonius Church in Düsseldorf. The historic instrument was programmed to play minimalist and trance-like loops which reverberate across the cathedral’s interior. We’re also playing Nachthorn from 2022, which was recorded the same way, producing “acoustic dance music” by controlling the organ’s keyboards, stops, and pedals.
