| Maxmus: Nu Jazz Project Brings Artists Together Composer and collaborator Max Makin's music project 'Maxmus' brings together a wealth of musical talent from across the world. This accomplished guitarist and composer from Luzern, Switzerland has created a number of unique works. With a diverse range of musical partnerships ranging from samplists, flautists, vocalists and bass players his music is a diverse mix of Nu Jazz and more traditional guitar pieces. The music of Maxmus would fit perfectly in the world of film and television soundtracks. Something Max is keen to pursue. Tara Isabella Burton, music reviewer for MyMusicSuccess.Com describes the Maxmus music project; "The soundscapes created by Maxmus, the Luzern-based collective music group headed by guitarist Max Makin are extraordinary in the way they manage to combine ambient sound - the sort of chill-out music you might hear in a particularly trendy Parisian lounge bar - with a slightly eerie, even otherwordly vibe and even a bit of straightforward, accomplished jazz... Elements" is something of a Proustian mix: moments of sound that appear briefly, and vanish, and then are echoed again - memory "flashbacks" of sound." write your comments about the article :: © 2009 Jazz News :: home page |
