Maxime Denuc

The Brussels-based electronic composer is the co-founder of Plapla Pinky, a duo noted for their atypical approach to club music, somewhere between rave, baroque, and contemporary music. However, for some years now, his solo work has focused on church organs. In 2020, he released Solarium on the Belgian label Vlek: this organ-centric record relies on the emotional potency of sunrise to spawn an experience that is both musical and social. Two years later, he presented Nachthorn, for MIDI church organ. The album was critically acclaimed, notably by Boomkat which selected it in their top ten records of 2022.

In addition to his composer activities, Denuc works with performing arts and also devotes himself to research. He graduated in 2019 with a master’s degree from EHESS Paris in Theories and Practices of Language and Arts. For this edition of Intonal, Denuc will perform on the MIDI organ of St Petri Church with compositions from Nachthorn and from an upcoming release.
