Berangere Maximin - Frozen Refrains (2017) Lossless

Across six multi-layered pieces the album explores themes of multiplicity, possible futures, subjectivity, dissonant emotions and memory as a force of imagination, reinvention and power. Its narrative is anchored in musical tradition while also challenging it, incorporating strategies of Musique Concrète and acoustic transformation.

Raised on the remote French colonial island of Reunion, Maximin takes pleasure in contradiction and contemplation, sculpting fragmented sequences of loops, signal drift and electroacoustic texture into “digital chimeras.” Her music connects digital and physical, isolation and lyricism, revealing the latent melodies.
