"Berangere Maximin makes spacious colorful music. a sonic sculptress of exception, she started out in an academic environment with an electroacoustic training, and has gradually incorporated the contribution of post-punk, dub and sound art experiments to develop a hyper-personal style, producing sensual, hypnotic, sultry pieces with immediate impact. Berangere moved from her native reunion island to France when she was fifteen, and studied with the musique concrete composer Denis Dufour (a grm member and pupil of Pierre Schaeffer). Her first album came out on tzadik. Berangere naturally drew inspiration from composers such as Francois Bayle, Luc Ferrari, Eliane Radigue and has also listened to a lot of early electronica and glitch music. She went on to develop her own approach, both to studio recording and to live performance, taking in the experiences gathered in the course of her collaborations with the likes of Fennesz, rhys Chatham, Richard Pinhas and Fred Frith."
