Maxime De Bollivier is an artist active in various artistic fields, ranging from photography to video making, and also music. Though he has released a substantial body of work, this is his first release on Hymen Records. The album is challenging to define and almost elusive, yet his fusion of styles captivates with its unique and sometimes freaky atmosphere. There is a certain nostalgia in his Glitch and IDM experiments that personally resonate more with me than pure free-style. Additionally, the album features subdued, Cinematic experiments primarily on piano. Maxime De Bollivier makes no compromises, following his instincts to create what I would call ‘sound anarchy,’ which I thoroughly enjoy. (Rating: 8)

Inferno Sound Diaries

I have been working for over 30 years with Side-line as the main reviewer. My taste is eclectic, uncoventional and I prefer to look for the pearls, even if the bands are completely unknown, thus staying loyal to the Side-Line philosophy of nurturing new talents.
