It’s a great showcase for his approach, and among the most popular devices ever shared. We started with MDD SnAkE, the shape-shifting sequencer he modeled on Make Noise’s René.

Dangles gladly shared his own shortcuts to effective patches too, plus recommendations for beginners who want to go further with Max for Live. Dangles says he finds a place for both random and controlled music-making in his own creative practice, depending on the day.Ĭatching up with Dangles over Zoom, we were curious to learn how he derives inspiration from creative roadblocks, and how an artistic residency in extraordinary surroundings shaped his new bundle of Multichannel Tools. Of course, they offer plenty of possibilities when it’s time to control the chaos, too: you can place notes, dial back the randomization and tighten gate lengths to plug the gaps in your groove with precision. That ease of access is important to Dangles: for him, “the power of a device lies in its simplicity, and its ability to generate interesting ideas quickly.” With a smattering of randomization, his nimble tools work even basic ideas into unpredictable and evolving musical expressions.
Behind minimalist and user-friendly faceplates of his characteristic orange, blue and green, his devices are built to bring complexity within reach for any music maker. In the Ableton community, Dangles is recognized for his versatile sound design, wide-ranging productions and not least for his Max for Live sequencers. Whether it’s collaborating with scientists on research into the impact of sound on marine ecosystems, or building and sharing his own devices for multi-channel live performances, Maxime Dangles experiences the world as one of endless and fascinating sonic interactions.
