Browse piano sheets by Lacoste-Lebuis, Maxime on Zen Virtual Piano. Max LL says he has been writing music since he picked up the guitar at fourteen, and he realized very quickly that writing songs and melodies appealed to him more than learning existing music. He strayed from music for a few years while finishing a bachelor's degree in business, then travelled for half a year around Asia and concluded he would not be happy in life unless music was his living. A business degree, set beside his work as a composer, filmmaker and documentary producer, may suggest a career that spans several fields. Working mostly alongside his long-term partner Maude Plante-Husaruk, Maxime Lacoste-Lebuis, who goes by Max LL online, is a Canadian composer and filmmaker. His first co-directed feature, Far Beyond the Pasturelands, won the New Vision Prize at RIDM and had a theatrical release across Canada and in the UK; his bio says he has started producing and directing documentaries to bring to light important stories and social issues. Film work and documentaries suggest that his scoring draws on storytelling beyond music alone. Thunder Lotus founder Will, a childhood friend, played drums in a rock and metal band with him in high school, with Max LL as guitarist and singer. When Will thought of starting a game studio, he asked Max LL to write a musical theme for Jotun, then in early conception, and a Kickstarter campaign funded the game and began his collaboration with the Thunder Lotus team. For Spiritfarer, creative director Nicolas Guérin shared songs ranging from manouche guitar, jazz and French folk to Ghibli film scores and twentieth-century classical piano, and Max LL says it was decided early that piano would be heavily featured. Acoustic or nylon guitar appears in the game, so guitar was an obvious choice too, and piano and guitar are the two instruments he is most comfortable with. A composer who picked up the guitar at fourteen, and later found guitar an obvious choice for Spiritfarer, may point to an instrument that stayed with him. A high school rock and metal band, set beside piano as one of his two most comfortable instruments, may suggest range from rock and metal to piano-led scoring. His piece Golestan, he told Spin, began with a recording he made in Iran of a friend's father improvising a sung line while reading a Hafez poem, from which he developed a fuller theme that a 40-piece string orchestra recorded. His website bio says his music draws on piano, guitars, string arrangements, ethnic instruments and found sounds collected around the world, and ranges from soft melody-driven underscores to cinematic orchestrations. Story, concept and artwork are where it all begins for him, and they are enough to spark melodies, themes and arrangement ideas. A recording made in Iran, set beside found sounds collected around the world, may suggest that travel feeds his music. A composer who starts from story and artwork hints at a habit of writing to the world around a piece rather than the piece alone.
