Max Richardson

Max Richardson is a freelance composer and producer based in Merseyside. His works are diverse, spanning from classical compositions to avant-garde electronica. Max's works have previously been performed by members of the RLPO, alongside garnering national airplay on BBC Radio 6 Music. Max's current project is titled 'Here (But Not Here)', a sound artwork commissioned by the Chester Bandstand program which explores the effect of the COVID pandemic on everyday people through voice recordings of people telling their story of the past 18 months in their own words.

Max’s background as a classical pianist heavily influences his creative practice. Combined with his love for electronic music, his works often merge multiple genres and styles, and utilise found sounds, field recordings and meticulously recorded studio instruments to craft unique soundscapes, rich in depth and emotional nuance. Max is writing this about himself in the third person, and hoping that nobody has read this far.
