I’ve never worked with a composer as talented as Maxime Lacoste-Lebuis.
Virtuoso, multi-instrumentalist and also master of the new audio-technological alchemy, he easily understands musical suggestions from which he creates inspiring and visionary compositions.
He makes the art of score creation seem like joyful and easy confection.
Expect great things of this gifted new professional.

It’s immediately clear to anyone who takes a second to set up a tent and occupy the Bandcamp page of Montrealer Max LL (a.k.a. Maxime Lacoste-Lebuis) that this 23-year-old multi-instrumentalist has a head full of music that’s just dying to spill out. Following a trip to India, Nepal, China and other points Southeast Asian last year, Max LL returned home topped up with inspiration, which he then poured heart-and-soul-style into his debut full-length album, End of Certainty.
It’s a shockingly accomplished piece of work in an orchestral/conceptual singer-songwriter style that draws from high-brow indie rock as well as, in moderation, world and progressive styles. If there was an accessible, not too narrow middle ground – weird as it is to imagine – between Death Cab for Cutie and The Tea Party this would most closely approximate it. Oh, and Max LL plays all the instruments on the album, which he produced, recorded and mixed all by his lonesome. - Jamie O'Meara - Rover Arts

Bio
My music is crafted from sounds and ideas collected around the world while traveling in India, Mongolia, Bangladesh, Burma, Nepal and many other countries.
I’ve moved from playing in a metal band and organizing charity concerts as a teenager, to studying the business side of the music industry at university. After earning my business degree, I decided to travel the world and to produce my first album, End of Certainty.
What I’m up to now?
For one, I travel the world, creating music, collecting sounds, recording, busking and drawing inspiration from fascinating cultures and people.
I also compose music for Film & TV. I’ve namely scored the latest large-scale CBC produced documentary by Alexandre Trudeau and Jonathan Pedneault, The New Great Game. I’m passionate about elevating inspiring audio-visual projects with unique musical compositions.
