Wow, this man has rhythm. True that Max, the kettle man, is neither stupid nor clumsy when he sits down with his instruments. He gets sound out of everything and his sonata for aluminum kettle is a delight. He happily expands the recital on flower pots, manipulates the broom stick with the dexterity of Pablo Casals. Well, almost.So is it true, inanimate objects, you really do have a soul? Max Vandervorst knows how to give them one with his Symphony for Abandoned Objects. He puts his lips to, squeezes and taps on a lot of junk that you might have the nerve to add to your trash can every day in your sad life without music (.) And then, what lung capacity, what a chest! What housewife could imagine that inside her vacuum cleaner hides a delicate instrument? Without a doubt Max will go far, because he aspires to great music. Max is made of thinking sounds!
