VANDERMAESBRUGGE, Max
Max VANDERMAESBRUGGE (Couillet (Hainaut), 14th June 1933) started his musical studies at the Music Academy of Forest. Continuing at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels, he followed classes with André Souris, Jacques Stehman and Jean Absil.
Since 1963 he has been director of the Music Academy “Jean Absil” in Etterbeek and since 1971 he has taught harmony at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels. In 1973 he was nominated inspector of musical education in the Walloon part of the country. He is also music critic of the paper “La Dernière Heure”.
Notwithstanding his manifold official activities he still finds time to compose. His style is melodic, based on polytonal and polymodal sonorities and supported by constant rhythmic mobility.
